  7. Welcome back Old 55. As for the question, I'll guess "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Good Vibrations".

  13. Since most of my favourite newer bands are British I made sure to tune in. Keane's album is awesome, IMO, and I'm glad they also won Breakthrough Act. I am a little disappointed that Kasabian didn't win anything but... Go Franz Ferdinand! I'm not really into most of the other acts (especially the 'pop' ones), though I do like a couple of the Streets' songs. :: Also, while I do like "Angels", I can't agree that it's the best of the past 25 years...
