All you need to do, if you're so inclined, is copy the emboldened text below into a fresh reply then fill in the blanks with your musical highs and lows of the year (if you're slightly foxed by the 'copy/paste' thing then drop me a PM).

Music Website of the Year:
Song of the Year:It's not a competition so you don't have to fill in all the fields if you don't want to and you can give more than one answer to each section should you feel the need. And there's no prizes for naming the most obscure band you can think of either.  |

Song of the Year: too many to mention.
Disappointing new releases this year -
Spear of Destiny - prob just me, everybody else loves it,
Kate Rusby - its a bit dull,
Steve Earle - just can't get into it at all, far to bloody cheerful. Still, being married to Alison Moorer may have something to do with it.
HIM - Venus Doom, don't belive the hype

Music Website of the Year: Last.FM (again!) Song of the Year: according to my Last.FM, it'd have to be 'Song For The Fields' by Fields (closely followed by The Kissaway Trail with 'Smother + Evil = Hurt' and St Vincent with 'Paris Is Burning'), but '1234' by Feist gets a mention for it's iPodly goodness. |
