I completely adore and admire the nominees for categories such as best British Band (the Arctic Monkeys are everything right now), and so on, but just the fact that there is even a category for Worst Band and Villain of the Year ruins it for me. These shows are not meant to put a label on other artists who don't necessarily "fit" into the type of music that the nominees typically dive into. Villain of the Year makes no sense, I'm still struggling to understand the purpose of it after last years winner..
Anyway, if you're up for the whole voting thing...the final round is open now.. http://www.nme.com/awards/vote?recache=5
