Mercury Prize Nominations 2010

[blondeambassador]

As some of us have already been conversing about this on Twitter, thought it could do with it's own thread...

Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions

Corinne Bailey Rae - The Sea

Dizzee Rascal - Tongue N Cheek

Foals - Total Life Forever

I Am Kloot - Sky At Night

Kit Downes Trio - Golden

Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can

Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More

Paul Weller - Wake Up The Nation

The xx - xx

Villagers - Becoming A Jackal

Wild Beasts - Two Dancers

I think the shortlist is decent enough, or as decent as can be expected if we ignore the travesty that is Mumford & Sons. I think it'll go to The XX or Laura Marling (mainly based on the fact everyone wanted her to take it the last time she was nominated.)

I'm fully behind Foals though, I think it's a fantastic album and was hoping they'd grab a nomination.

Three good albums, a couple of okay ones and some serious chuff.
About standard really.

Foals and Biffy..Mumford & Sons is okay, but has become a bit too hyped for me.
