Mercury Music Prize 2005

Lets not waste time, my favourite album from the list below is The Magic Numbers but I'll wager that Kaiser Chiefs will win. Its not a bad album but not the most inspiring. If they do win, at least it won;t be Coldplay.

Bloc Party – 'Silent Alarm'
Hard-Fi –'Stars Of CCTV'
Kaiser Chiefs – 'Employment'
MIA – 'Arular'
The Magic Numbers – 'The Magic Numbers'
Coldplay – 'X&Y'
The Go! Team – 'Thunder, Lightning Strike'
Antony And The Johnsons – 'I Am A Bird Now'
KT Tunstall – 'Eye To The Telescope'
Maximo Park – 'A Certain Trigger'
Seth Lakeman – 'Kitty Jay'
Polar Bear – 'Held On The Tips Of Fingers'

Its an achievment to be chosen for the list and no doubt very good for cd sales.
