mercury prize 2006

IVE GONE FOR EDITORS. NO ONE ELSE VOTE AND THEY WILL GET 100%

hot chip

or Scritti ?

sorry Grant!!

Editors was ok first when i got it. but really, its only got three or four good songs.

I went with Muse, though I considered Scritti Politti.

are Muse American? like Bush?

keep hearing their name and stuff, but know fuck all about them.

someone said they're globally massive, but i don't get it.

never hear them on the radio, or the telly.

No they're British. You think I'd vote for an American band?

You obviously don't listen to Radio 1, they kiss their arse so much it defies belief, they're not that good.

i'm gonna go with the bookies and say the artic monkeys.

i went for isobell campbell & mark laneghan, on the basis that it's a quality album.

editors is v good, but not of the wall enough for the mercury. guillemots i just don't like, hot chip are ok, muse should be renamed matt bellamy's muse these days, arctic monkeys - don't make me laugh one or two good songs, but come off it! thom yorke's album is just wrong, forgotten who the others are! hawley is a good bet though

Hawley is a national treasure as well as a good bet!

I think i'll have a flim on Scritti Politti then in the betting shop after work.

wonder what the odds are?

SCRIITI POLITTI

I voted Editors, I don't think they'll win it but I like them.

Arctic Monkeys-the hype so died down didnt it. I bought the album after getting (stupidly) caught up in the bullshit. Would have to say,"Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secure" is the only track id even bother with now.

Id give it to Thom Yorke,cos if the truth be told if it was a "Radiohead" album itd be up as album of the year.

I've only got The Warning. Don't know who half of them are. s'pose they're mostly stupid rock bands.

isobel campbell and mark lanegan for me please

fucking great album. lanegan is a legend.

only great album on the list IMO.

Congrats to the Arcitc Monkeys..

I have no idea who Alex Turner is, but you and me know that Hawley was mugged in the name of NME-hyped tosspots.

Edit: I also thought that the Guilemotts (sp.?) record was beautiful. Clearly, I was in a minority.

In the backroom for me, and that's where i am rite now after just ending another long day night at work. editors

they're shite.

wasted a fiver on Scritti. twat.

but how depressing was Thom Yorke on the piano. god awful music that. music for the dead.

infact they all were. its got to be the worst ceremony out there.

and what's Editors fella done to his head. those high curls are fuckin ridiculous.

The Mercury Award is shite anyway,no better than The Brits. I`ll openly put my reputation on it the Arctic Monkeys win best newcomers at Brits 2007.

Shit live though.

Out of that list, Editors should have pissed it. But the nominations were a joke. How Leaders of The Free World by Elbow didnt get nominated is beyond me...

I own 5 of those albums - Arctic Monkeys, Editors, Hot Chip, Muse & Thom Yorke. Arctic Monkeys would be my favourite out of that lot but the Editors album isn't far behind.

well looks like final result is editors are winners

How can Banshee and Missy ever be wrong

best gums award went to Zoe Rahman.

yep,the plan worked although i'll have that monty for voting for monkeys

Between Thom Yorke and Editors for me, but Editors pipped it

about the only time i've agreed with you musically! better change my answer now!

Went for Muse but i guess that they're not this year...Editors or Guillemots?

And the winners are for best debut album...THE MONKEYS!

Do I win £40?

do you think Richard sounds a bit like the guy from Divine Comedy??

Arctic Monkeys?

Fucking hell, I can't decide who are more worthy of ridicule and contempt - them or the Killers.

Why is the hit parade so full of all these pathetic joke bands that are just tributes to mediocrity?

I'm surprised Arctic Monkeys haven't been approached by Clearasil to endorse some of their skincare products - over the counter sales will triple if they did some serious campaigning. I mean, for a band who claim to write songs about '"everyday issues that affect their lives" they could always record a single about how many new zits they squeezed last night as their latest one night stand recoiled in horror whilst trying to concentrate on creating the biggest bubble from her cherry flavoured chewing gum....

God these bands are so unbelievably crap it's untrue.

Not everyone can be Ian Mac Cullough, you know.

Baldrick, I can't really hear the comparisons tbh. Always heard of him more as a Roy Orbison kind of singer.
