[Poll #1049946]

Apologies if your nomination didn't make it to the Top Ten - I tried to stick to UK artists wherever possible. Voting will close at the end of the week.

EDIT: The voting criteria have been left deliberately ambiguous. Vote as you see fit: best, worst or 'most indie'? It's up to you.

I've voted for my favourite band, but perhaps that was not the correct criterion in light of the title of the poll, viz. I should have voted for the WORST therefore I move my vote to Kate Nash.

That was my reading of the poll, which is why I nominated the View in the first place!

So who IS that guy who I nominated, the one with dreadlocks and a nacoustic guitar whose terminally dreary cover of Portishead is being advertised on the telly every time I flipping switch it on? Is his name Nathan something?

We are voting as to which is worst, y/y? If not I retract my vote for The Twang.

I am ignoring Kate Nash as she is not INDIE. She is POP.

Once that Red Herring is dealt with, it's clear that The Pigeon Detectives, the Catchy But Obnoxious and Right Wing Reverend And The Makers, and The View head up the standings.

And given the View are clearly the most successful and the least talented, by a considerable margin, they're going down.

(Three and a half artists I'd say I definitely liked here).

I've always taken this poll to be an assessment of neither good nor bad, but precisely how vexing the act is seen from the Lex's worldview.

The Twang get a vote just because they've amused me the most this year. Twang highlight: seeing them sat on some crates outside a gate at Glastonbury looking a bit forlorn, because they couldn't get in to do their set. I think they were let in eventually.

Eeeeewwwwwwwwww.

I voted for Mark Ronson b/c his music may be terrible but he is fit and I would totally do him.

I have a horrible feeling that people are voting for Art Brut b/c they actually like them.

whats this poll supposed to conclude or achieve if we dont actually know why we're voting, and are all voting different things (and the same things) for different reasons?
