He deserved something, i'm not sure about you but he was better live act i saw last year, The Libertines and Franz Ferdinand were put to shame at the Leeds fest, same applied to The White Stripes who followed him.
Plus you'd be hard pressed to find a better single than FOTGTD.
If anybody deserves a godlike genius award it's Morrissey.
It's about time the letters pages at the NME were swamped again, like the old days...message boards too.

Grahem Who??? (Score:2, Insightful)
Excuse me if I'm a little bit out of touch with British Music, but I am now in my mid 30's, but isn't Grahem Coxon the bloke with the glasses who played guitar in Blur???
If so what has he done this year??
Is it any good??
However good it might be, surely it does not come close to YATQ, and he certainly never had 4 Top Ten British singles like Morrissey.
I think Morrissey suffered at the populist Brits for being non mainstrem, and Coxon has simply won this as he's a bit different , and the NME can't be seen to like Old Man Moz as he sells to many records.
Hero of the Year went rightly to John Peel, but from what I've seen of the pretty boy Brandon Flowers, Morrissey is far and away better dressed and more stylish.

nme.com as best website- well thats pretty funny. good joking aside, davidt shouldve had this one.
nice to see Mr. Peel recognized, even though im not sure how simply keeling over makes you hero of the year [sorry if that seems harsh, but its the truth]. still, he has gone too long without ever gaining any mainstream recongnition- its juste sad that it had to wait till he was gone.

Peel won the Hero award before the first vote came in.
Best dressed/sexiest was bound to go between Flowers and Alex Kapranos.
Best solo - strange, I must admit. I had anticipated another win for Mike Skinner.
Moz is never gonna appeal to the young NME readership in any major way, his days as a youth icon are over, which is no insult to Moz. You only have to remember that Mick Jagger was an icon of the young once too (no, I'm not comparing them, so no need to warm my seat in the electric chair just yet!). The young idolise the young, it's always the way. As long as Moz keeps making great music for posterity, these slights won't matter.

Even if the readers won't recognize
Morrissey for the Pop Icon he is,
the NME will continue to use Moz's
hansome mug on the cover
to sell their rag.
It's the only reason I buy it.

NME show poor discernment, as they've done before, especially towards Morrissey. At least Spin got something right. Some recognition would've been welcome, but we know who the best is across the board: we 'don't need more ammunition'!

I think the worst part about Flowers isn't his non-lyrical talent, but the fact that he blatantly imitates Morrissey's movements during his performances. It's like he's [Flowers] is not even there. Everything is gimmicky and "showy" with this guy. There is an huge lack of originiality. His expressions, the way he speaks to the audience...it's all one big act, the 13 and 14 year old girls who catch on to this band, LOVE the act, like they love boy bands...that, my friends, speaks for itself.
I admit, I do own "Hot Fuss" it's a good dance record, with catchy pop tunes yadda yadda yadda, and i DID actually like them at one point, but after seeing this band play live, I will never EVER waste my money again. Besides, their career is basically done now. The only thing theyve got left to offer is another "Hot Fuss" which will frankly, be boring and tired by then.
Next time Spin readers are better off voting for authentic, intelligent new talent, say, Franz Ferdinand?

My Chicago-land comment (Score:1)
The Killers are very talented- but I cannot get the Duran Duran image totally out of my mind. Their opening set was incredible. But Brandon Flowers as best dressed?
I cannot believe this at all. Morrissey dresses *so* much better!
Brandon honestly looked as though he found his clothes at the thrift store that evening!
Now- don't get me wrong- he was very stylish and charming. And they are incredible. But best dressed belongs to Morrissey. Morrissey invented it completely.
Truly,

NME Awards - the Moz bit (Score:1)
On the Channel 4 programme before that, “The Friday Night Project”, Neil Morrissey was the co-host this week with Jimmy Carr. He did a silly skit about a CD called something like ‘Morrissey doing Morrissey’ which he was supposedly bringing out, very lukewarmly singing FOTGTD and ending with Miserable Now, with a big bunch of flowers in hand. Only a weak filler really. So, now that Satan has rejected his soul, Moz is free to ply his trade as the least maladjusted kid on the block!
