2009 Mercury Prize Nominations

Photobucket

The 2009 Mercury Prize list is long, but  distinguished (fill in the Top Gun quote), however, unlike Thunderdome, twelve will enter, and only one will win. I like the first three on the list, and good luck to the rest of the nominees.

The full list of nominees and odds is:
Bat for Lashes, “Two Suns” (6/1)
Florence & The Machine, “Lungs” (5/1)
Friendly Fires, “Friendly Fires” (8/1)
Glasvegas, “Glasvegas” (6/1)
Kasabian “West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum” (5/1)
La Roux, “La Roux” (6/1)
Led Bib, “Sensible Shoes” (10/1)
Lisa Hannigan, “Sea Sew” (8/1)
Speech Debelle, “Speech Therapy” (8/1)
Sweet Billy Pilgrim, “Twice Born Men” (10/1)
The Horrors, “Primary Colours” (8/1)
The Invisible, “The Invisible” (10/1) (via Billboard)
