Re: the Mercury Prize Nominations for 2008

There's no record I like among those 12...
I would have liked to see in this list Guillemots (the last record is very underrated), Jim Noir, Goldfrapp, Patrick Cleandenim, The Coral, Richard Hawley, Jackdaw4, Candie Payne.
From the 12 the winner is gonna be Burial in my opinion.

Re: the Mercury Prize Nominations for 2008

Radioheads fourth nomination, I hope they win.

Re: the Mercury Prize Nominations for 2008

Me too. I would have bet money that Goldfrapp would win this year but they're not even nominated and neither is Portishead. At least there aren't too many of those girly brits with the obnoxious accents. There's only Adele and Estelle.

Re: the Mercury Prize Nominations for 2008

Best list in years. only lack of Portishead really worth bleating about.

Re: the Mercury Prize Nominations for 2008

And the winner is......Elbow for the Seldom Seen Kid. Sorry Radiohead!

Re: the Mercury Prize Nominations for 2008

I like Elbow's album, but I would take Radiohead or Laura Marling in a second.
