The 2005 Ho Music Awards Contestants
or Yes, This Is Rather Late

Here are the current nominees for each award for this year's HMAs. Usually I like to get these published by the beginning of November, but the past month was very busy and it had to be put off.

Song of the Year

One of These Days ~ Doves
Pass Me Down the Wine ~ Oasis
Hollow ~ Better Than Ezra
Fix You ~ Coldplay
Now Comes the Night ~ Rob Thomas

Album of the Year

Some Cities ~ Doves
Rebel, Sweetheart ~ The Wallflowers
Don't Believe the Truth ~ Oasis
X&Y ~ Coldplay

Retro Songs of the Year

[As usual, these songs are simply listed instead of debated over, since I can choose as many as I want. Therefore, those songs stay unlisted until the day of the awards.]

Discovery Artist of the Year

Elbow
Glen Phillips
Toad the Wet Sprocket

Input is always welcome, although in the end I hold total veto power.
