Created On: Tuesday, 29 January 2008 Hits: 70  Arctic Monkeys The Arctic Monkeys are contesting the best British band, best live band, best album, best track, best video and best video album artwork categories, while lead singer Alex Turner is nominated for the "best dressed" award. NME music magazine said the nominations, decided by public vote, made the indie group the most voted-for band of the decade and their generation's answer to Oasis. Amy Winehouse, nominated for six Grammys and enjoying commercial and critical acclaim for her album "Back to Black," is up for four awards, including "villain of the year" and "worst dressed." The 24-year-old soul and jazz star entered a rehab clinic last week for treatment. She is up against former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, his successor Gordon Brown and U.S. President George W. Bush in the villain category. Winehouse was also nominated for best music DVD and best solo artist. Best international band will be contested between Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters, the Killers, Kings of Leon and My Chemical Romance. Share this article to:        |
