1982

Despite the fact they split, The Jam still swept the board. As for the others, our NME person said: “If one ignores the votes cast for The Jam and looks instead at the runner-up spot in each category a more varified and shifting picture emerges; in this new hierarchy, Simple Minds have risen to number two band, Kid Creole And The Coconuts make second best live act and Elvis Costello is runner up both as songwriter and male singer.”
