Mercury Prize

[Plebings]

I don't know if any of you care but..
Heres the list of nominee's for this year's Mercury Prize

Have you heard of any? What would you put in?
(Mercury Prize is given to BRITISH artists, no Lady GaGa's)

Florence and the Machine – Lungs 5/1
Kasabian – West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum 5/1
Bat for Lashes – Two Suns 6/1
La Roux – La Roux 6/1
Glasvegas – Glasvegas 6/1
Speech Debelle – Speech Therapy 8/1
Friendly Fires – Friendly Fires 8/11
The Horrors – Primary Colours 8/1
Lisa Hannigan – Sea Sew 8/1
The Invisible – The Invisible 10/1
Led Bib – Sensible Shoes 10/1
Sweet Billy Pilgrim – Twice Born Men 10/1

The numbers are the odds of them winning.. apparently.

Anyway I'd be pleased with either The Horrors or Friendly Fires winning. If Glasvegas win.... that would be a shame

Seriously. I think Florence and the Machine's album will win this. Every single song is harmonic and beautiful and there's not a filler song. This is may favourite album of the past few years and dare I say it ever.

+ i'm going to see them at Manchester Academy in September :)

[Jam]

Yeah, I'm going with F + TM, although the album art on Lungs scares me.

[TopManTim]

Florence ftw, the album is a masterpiece.

The ***** from La Roux better not get it :@

[Monopoly]

florence SHOULD get this. lungs is probably the best album i've ever listened to without any doubt.
but i bet kasabian will get it. ;/

[Plebings]

Mercury prize has always been known not to give it to the more established acts, so it's fair to say Kasabian have no chance.

Still think The Horrors should win

[lPinoy]

i'd rather florence or la roux win it.

[Shinigami]

i wouldnt mind florence, bfl or la roux winning but i think florence will win.

[joshuar]

I reckon The Horrors should get it, they have made a pretty good album, considering their first wasn't too great.

But I know someone like La Roux or Florence + The Machine will win it.

[Sammeth.]

Florence and the Machine should win, Lungs is one of the best albums I've heard. Even got my mum into it today :8
