9 artists who really, really don't like the BRIT Awards

So here we are, BRIT Awards time - the biggest awards ceremony for UK music. A night of huge collaborations, big prizes for the year's most successful and a bloody good knees-up at London's now iconic O2 Arena. We've seen some legendary moments, from Jarvis Cocker flashing his arse at Michael Jackson to the KLF machine gunning the audience and dumping a dead sheep outside. But, like anything huge, the BRIT Awards aren't for everyone...

Some artists just aren't fans of the BRITs. Kasabian have dubbed it a 'conspiracy' against working class rock, Paloma Faith thinks it's sexist, and Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams and Jake Bugg think it's just a bit boring.

We've gathered together nine of the crankiest artists who just really don't like the BRIT Awards.
