THE VIEW ANGRY OVER MONKEYS' MERCURY NOMINATION
Scottish rockers THE VIEW have criticised the Nationwide Mercury Prize for nominating the ARCTIC MONKEYS for the second consecutive year.
Arctic Monkeys collected the gong for their debut disc Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not last year (06) and have been nominated for this year's (07) prize for their second album Favourite Worst Nightmare.
But the Same Jeans hitmakers have blasted the nominations, insisting the award should be a one-off prize.
Guitarist Peter Reilly says, "It's a great album but I'm not sure how Mercury can vote for Arctic Monkeys twice in a year.
"I thought it was a one-off prize, meant for new bands and debut albums. Is there not a rule?"
The View have received a nomination for this year's annual music prize alongside fellow British artists Amy Winehouse and the Klaxons.
