Marling would be nice, her album's divine. It's pretty much guarenteed to be Radiohead though isn't it? _________________ Unfortunately, the ninja had Anti-Drag-Queen X-Ray Glasses™, so their clever plan would soon be foiled.

It is actually getting worse every year.
Radiohead beat the rest by about six or seven country miles. _________________ it's you!

As much as I fucking love Radiohead, In Rainbows is by far the weakest of all the albums they've had nominated for the prize and I simply don't want them to win with one of their weaker albums when OK Computer didn't win.
Personally, either Burial, Elbow or Laura Marling for me. Mainly Elbow really as any album with songs as amazing as 'Some Riot', 'One Day Like This' and 'The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver' deserves to win in my opinion. _________________ "Time Takes It's Crazy Toll"

urgh awful
if Adele wins then its a absolute disgrace.
Alex Turner will always been nominated for the mercuty prize even if he didnt release anything.
i may give the ones i havent listened to a listen and see if i can come up with a opinion of a worthy winner.

So Adele, Estelle, BSP, The Last Shadow Muppets are on the list but they missed out Portishead?
Whoever choose the list really need a good kicking on their balls! _________________ cserkésző vadász!

I'd quite like Burial to win.
But why Portishead isn't there is beyond me.

Go Elbow, they totally deserve this one.
I think LSP are good and Alex Turner writes my fave songs (arctic monkeys) but I can not fcuking stand, how everyone hars their heads up his arse.
And AM are with The Strokes my fave band.
