    I can safely say that is easily the worst ever Mercury awards shortlist..... no nomination for Bloc Party and they nominate The View who released one of the worst albums of the year???? :eek:

    Arctic Monkeys, Winehouse, Jamie T and Dizzee Rascal will probably be predictable favourites. I can't see the Arctic Monkeys winning it 2 years in a row because the reality is their 2nd album isn't a patch on their debut. I'd guess Winehouse will win it because she is Amy Winehouse. Of what I've listened Klaxons deserve to win and even their album had it's dodgy moments

    still the awards look a complete joke this year

    There's some songs on Arctic monkeys second album that's good.It might be enough to win them the second year.

    This really should be for debut albums.

    no mention of biffy clyro either, which i honestly believe they deserve recognition more than any artist on that list.

    they obiviously don't like good music.

    it seems they just go for wino's/druggies/people who sing about wearing jeans for 4 days etc etc.

    Blargh!

    Obviously they're fascists/commies/aesthetes/knobs. What about Generic! So underrecognised!

    Blargh!

    Remember, failure may end up being the sliproad on to the freeway of dreams.

    no Gruff Rhys or Pop Levi...

    meh, awards are generally a load of back-slapping nonsense anyway.
