Marling would be nice, her album's divine. It's pretty much guarenteed to be Radiohead though isn't it?

Yes. Unfortunately.

I can honestly say I don't like their music at all.

I did however muchly enjoy the video for... Something.

It was a load of people lying down.

It is actually getting worse every year.

Radiohead beat the rest by about six or seven country miles.

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.

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!

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.
