Who do you want to win the Mercury Music Prize?

[Hungry Joe]

British Sea Power for me of course but who does it for you?

Adele - 19
British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
Burial - Untrue
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
Estelle - Shine
Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim
Neon Neon - Stainless Style
Portico Quartet - Knee-Deep in the North Sea
Rachel Unthank & The Winterset - The Bairns
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement

I've heard about four of five of those and IMO Radiohead should win that with plenty to spare, although I'm sure someone obscure will pip them.

 

[Skaville]

Whilst Neon Neon and The Last Shadow Puppets are both good albums, they're both based so heavily on the 80's/60's respectively. I thought the Mercury was about new/breakthrough music.

 

[Hungry Joe]

What do you think of Do You Like Rock Music? Jimmy?

 

[beardy gull]

Torn between Elbow or Neon Neon.

What do you think of Do You Like Rock Music? Jimmy?

It's okay. I've only listened to it a couple of times to be fair and often find I forget about stuff only to discover it again six months later and love it!

 

[Skaville]

I'm surprised Portishead didn;t make the list.

 

[lethaldrizzle]

Radiohead or Burial. Elbow and British Sea Power have released better albums in the past and have seen their best days already. Neon Neon is fun but forgettable. Not heard the others.

 

[dougdeep]

Plant and Krauss. Excellent album.

 

[Kukev31]

Be amazing if British Sea Power won. Amazingly underated band.

COLDPLAY

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Diana Ross and the Supremes.

British Sea Power of course.

Oh look, here's Krispies at a BSP gig

He's fit.

 

[kevo]

As are you, I'm sure.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

As are you, I'm sure.

I wish. Krispies, eh, what a name, I bet the ladies love that.

 

[Hungry Joe]

British Sea Power of course.

Oh look, here's Krispies at a BSP gig

Brilliant kevo, that picture never fails to crack me up.

 

[Ishmael Arat]

British Sea Power. Majestic.

 

[King of Birds]

Not sure about BSP losing their way, DYLRM is a return to form after the disappointment of Open Season (True Adventures apart). I hope they win it.

Never won it which is, frankly, ridiculous. Come on.

Anyone heard Burial. Sounds interesting.
