1975

This turned out to be a strange, eclectic year. Roxy Music, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder all took home awards. But so did Kiki Dee, Bad Company and Noel sodding Edmonds.

Our man sagely wrote of the results: "Recent chart success, or a recent album release, or even a recent tour, can prove vital in securing votes."
