History

The awards began as the NME Poll Winners Concert and awards ceremonies in the 1953. These continued through the 1960s, where concerts were filmed and broadcast on ITV. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were most commonly featured.

Britpop Era

The awards began again in 1994 as the NME Brat Awards a punning alternative to the Brit Awards. The initial award ceremonies were supportive of the burgeoning Britpop scene with Oasis becoming the first band in the modern era to win three awards. Again in 1996 Oasis won four awards - Best Band, Best Live Band, Best Album ((What's the Story) Morning Glory?) and Best Single ("Wonderwall").

Later in the decade major winners were the Manic Street Preachers (4 awards in 1999) and Blur (3 awards in 2000).

Garage Rock Revival

In 2002, the awards reflected the NME's support for the "New Rock Revolution" Garage Rock revival, with The Strokes winning three awards (Best New Act, Best Album, and Band of the Year).

After the 2002 awards an article on telegraph.co.uk reported that the winners of the NME awards "were almost interchangeable" with the winners of the Brit awards and criticised then editor Ben Knowles for what they saw as a hypocritical attack on the commercial nature of the Brit Awards.

In 2003, Nick Jago, the drummer of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club gave a "silent" speech lasting 7 minutes, infavourably compared the show to The Source awards, was booed and heckled and had to be physically removed from the stage.

The Libertines won "Best British Band" in both 2004 and 2005, as well as "Best New Band" in 2003.
