mercury prize 2006

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.

So says Alex Turner.

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.

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.

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

fucking great album. lanegan is a legend.

only great album on the list IMO.

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.
