  • That was the best cover all year!

    They're right about 'Best Solo Artist' at least.

  • Well, good for the Spin readers
    for voting right on Best Solo Artist.
    Now that's an endorsement 17 years
    in the making.

    As far as Worst Cover, I suspect the
    readers may have felt the photograph
    was overtouched and the placement of
    the Metallica plug in Morrissey's quiff
    was really uneccessary.

  • The Lameness filter is annoying as all get out. I use the word DVD once and it tells me "Please don't use so many caps. Using caps is like yelling!" (course it said it in all caps which I can't repeat lest I trigger the damn thing again)

    I then chamge it to Dvd and it still gives me the same error time and again. And, yes, I waited 20 seconds before posting again. Which brings me to..

    You need to wait 20 seconds between replying and posting! What the hell? David, do we really need this filter? It's not accurate at all and causes more errors than it catches. I've given up responding countless times because of it. Incredibly annoying.

  • Kudos to Spin readers for picking Mozz as best solo artist -- it's not like the annoying Gwen Stefani is any real competition. All bias aside, who had more impact as a solo artist? He really was the story of the year, even without much corporate radio support.

    For the magazine covers, to each their own, as these are mainly voted on the attractiveness of the artist. Mozz looks great for a forty-ish British man, but most readers would rather see Gwen Stefani or that vain pretty-boy who calls himself Brandon Flowers . But really, is the cover of Karen O wearing an uglyass cameltoe-showing Halloween costume or the bullshit Beastie Boys cover any better than Mozz's? I don't think so.

    Then again, I haven't read this month's issue, so maybe one of those was voted worst in show...
