NME is always on the cutting edge when it comes to music, especially in the UK.
Whether you had a great comeback like Lily Allen or David Bowie or an amazing breakthrough like Lorde or Haim, being nominated for an NME award is a true mark of being cool!
Unless they nominate you for Villain of the Year! Seriously, Miley Cyrus?! As bad as gay-hating Vladimir Putin? WTF??
Find out who else is the best, and apparently the worst…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
