Giving this a few listens today. My favorite song is probably Some Riot towards the end. Really great song.

I just bought 3 of those albums... Laura Marling, Adele and Elbow. Elbow's album is just fantastic. Grounds for Divorce especially.

Of the albums I've heard on that list Elbow is my favourite. Chuffed for 'em.

I just looked at that list for the first time, I'm so out of the loop.
British Sea Power album is just pure beauty from start to finish. I hope they win out of any of them. Maybe they can spend the money on deodorant because when i saw them in Chicago, there was a really bad stink from the stage. They show wasn't very good but perhaps it was the venue. I think they're better on record than live, but maybe that show was just a fluke.

And I have to say, those Mercury Prize shortlists always end up being the best place to look for great new music every year in advance of the EOY lists by major publications and blogs.

Why didn't they air the full show? You want to watch these people eat dinner?
I wanted it to be burial - but elbow are a decent second choice. Just glad it didn't go the consistently over-rated and bland Alex Turner.
- Agreed - that shadow puppets band is waaaay over rated.JerseyRaindog

Man, listening to BSP now. Lights Out For Darker Skies is just an amazing song
- Dancer0
Elbow have been consistantly under rated since the start. A fantastically full musical experience.

Elbow were playing a track on some film awards thing on iTv... think the song ' grounds for divorce' is on the burn after reading film or something

Completely agree about Shadow Puppets and am glad Elbow won.
Anyone listen to Guy Garvey's 6 music show? He comes across as a real nice bloke and has a great taste in music too. Good on him i say!
