Impacts: {{t}} Elvis Costello runs for President and cops Best Songwriter, 3rd Best Male Singer, Fifth Best Album and (with the Attractions) 12th Best Group. | Impacts: {{t}} Elvis Costello runs for President and cops Best Songwriter, 3rd Best Male Singer, Fifth Best Album and (with the Attractions) 12th Best Group. Inexplicably neither "Chelsea" nor "Radio, Radio" registered in the singles list, but there's time enough for that (and Pin-Up Of The Year) next go-round. And we ain't doing a recount for ''anyone'', Jake. | ||
Margins of victory varied alarmingly. | Margins of victory varied alarmingly. The Clash won by miles in the group section, but in the album section The Jam took 'em by a mere three votes, while one vote separated Elvis Costello and Siouxsie. Jean Jacques took it with plenty to spare in the bass department while Elvis Costello's songwriting trophy was secured over Paul Weller thanks to a mere four unknown heroes. | ||
