    Default ARIA Award are a joke

    Why bother even having the damn things if you've already announced all the "genre" awards days beforehand.
    Why is there no Hip-Hop on the night
    Where is the Rock
    I couldn't care less about "Best Brakethrough" or "Biggest Anus Licker" awards.
    I just want to know who won what awards in a specific genre.

    K, now you go

    No I watched The Mighty Ducks and Downfall on SBS tonight. Was much more entertaining than a second rate music awards ceremony.

    ARIA awards have been gradually going down hill each year. Amazing how many crappy artists won awards over much clearly much better musicians.

    Would have loved to have seen Psycroptic perform on an ARIA show LOL. People wouldn't know what to think when they see talent on the stage performing.

    That can be said for every music awards though, these days if you dont "sing" about raping prostitutes or talk like you've been kicked hard in the head, you don't rate a mention.

    most music these days is a joke anyway, it's all teenage girl computer crap or that hip-hop shit
    you virtually have to search underground to find proper bands where people play actual instruments and 'sing' without sounding like a cylon.....

    I think aussie hip hop is much better than any american music being put out at the moment. Its genuine australian music and often has underying messages throughout it.

    The only band that I can think of that will get a mention in mainstream Australian music these days would be The Living End.

    Auto-tune is fuggin horrible. Just goes to show how retarded the general public is.

    there's no musicians anymore either, just about every backing track is some sort of annoying computer loop that sounds like some kid banging on a rubbish tin lid with a stick
    Australians just copy everything the UK or US does, so it's no just Australian music that sucks, it's top 40 music in general.

    can't even go and watch these so called artists 'live' because there is nothing live about their music. There isn't any backing band & everything is postproduction studio effects.
    Hence the reason why so many of the 70's & 80's artists/bands are coming back touring live and selling out concerts within minutes of going on sale.

    There is a few good bands getting around, just nothing you'll see on TV. The living end is good. Tool is a great live show, if you can survive the nutters, as is Slipknot if you're into that kind of stuff. I love the music but hate the idiots that flock to it.
