Dire Straits nominated for Brit Award

I didn't think Oasis were very popular these days.  I expected the winner to be Coldplay.   I'm very disappointed BIA didn't win.

They should be renamed the Shit Awards. What a load of drivel.

Was forced to watch Man U I'm afraid Dan!

I cant say that I didnt buy WTSMG when it came out,good album - I think Peter Kay got it spot on though,Liam Gallagher is a knobhead I've always thought that Noel was the most talented of the two.

I notice that one of the remarks said BIA wasn't British and was not sure why it was even nominated!   That just shows how knowledgeable the British public, in general, are about DS/MK!  

Thanks Dan!

Oasis have been in the news lately with the split so it was pretty obvious where the award was heading and this staged outburst will no doubt get them some more publicity and shift a few more copies.  This is exactly why controversial bands like this deserve nothing, yet seem to get success.

I haven't listened to it in more than 10 years so I don't know how it stands up today, but as someone who was 18 when WTSMG came out I can certainly say it captured the zeitgeist at the time. It was an amazing year and that record was certainly the soundtrack to it.

I hooked up with one of my favourite ex-girlfriends after serenading her with an impromptu rendition of "Wonderwall" in February 1996.

I'd promised the wife that if BIA won the Brit, i'd run round the front room naked.
Lucky for her, Oasis won.

I genuinely thought it might be in with a real chance. Oh well
