2009 Mercury Prize Nominations

Who do you think will get nominated this year and who is most likely to win?

Re: 2009 Mercury Prize Nominations

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure I've listened to much British music this year - this music year has probably been my finding-out-about-classics year. But one of my favourite albums to come out this year is The Horrors' Primary Colours, and at the moment, I think it should win. Other favourites are Bat for Lashes, though that was nominated earlier...

Re: 2009 Mercury Prize Nominations

I wonder if Glasvegas is eligible this years since I didn't see them nominated last year. I'm thinking Bat for Lashes will likly take it if Glasvegas ISN'T nominated. Make sure to post the nominees here to whomever sees the list first when it comes out tomorrow.
