*moved to world of music because the thread isn't going to be about Coldplay*

Does Coldplay need the extra sales generated by a Mercury nomination?

 

Better not to be nominated, than to be nominated and not win, but the Mercury judges are a strange bunch (like giving Klaxons the award last year)

 

As I said - it's all a big fix.;)

I never had a strong feeling Radiohead would win, but with In Rainbows they might just have a fairly big chance.

 

Dunno why, maybe because of the massive hype surrounding its release, and the way they chose to release it.

 

 

If they won't win though, I bet Estelle will.

Not because I like her stuff, but just it 'feels' like she could win.

they not on the list because theyre too good for other bands to compete :smug:

coldplay rule!:D

I really hope neon neon or elbow win!!! :heart:

Yup. It shows that Coldplay are in a different league from all the rest.

They're too good for the "prize".:smug:

Elbow suck!

But from someone whose signature declares his love for The Trick to Life, Life in Cartoon Motion and Your's Truly Angry Mob can't really have a strong opinion on proper music.

About time Elbow got some recognition! It's a shame they won with their worst album tho. Don't get me wrong it's got some of their best work on it but as an album it's not their best. 'Asleep In The Back' is far better along with 'Cast Of Thousands'. That's not taking anything away from Elbow they deserve everything they get, a fantastic band! Guy Garvey was made up! :dance:

Elbow! :stunned: Good for them. About time someone noticed them. Now if only it was enough for someone to notice them over here. Not likely.

 

Still think Burial should have won, though. Although after the fiasco with the Sun, maybe it would have been better for him not to have been nominated at all... :\

Well, well, well... the Mercury committee finally got one right!

 

Really pleased for Elbow - Guy Garvey looked like a kid a Christmas!

Well done for Elbow! I really like their new album. :)
