MC MC	Arctic Monkeys - the token "keep Joe Public interested" entry (I liked the album to begin with but its modest assemblage of tricks has worn off somewhat). Muse - the token "rock" entry (a good album in many ways but Physical Graffiti it is not). Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - American citizen Lanegan gets in but Scott Walker doesn't. Zoe Rahman - the token "jazz" entry. Editors - the token "Britpop Mk II: still alive?" entry. Barron Knights do Joy Division. Lou Rhodes - the token "media insider with connections calls in favours" entry (presumably Parlophone are keeping Lily Allen in reserve for the Brits). Guillemots - the token "comedy act" entry. Scritti - the token "Buggins' turn" entry (the album doesn't deserve to be nominated, let alone win). Richard Hawley - the only record in this list which deserves to be there. Sway - the token ethnic minority entry. Hot Chip - the token "not as clever as they think" entry. Thom Yorke - the token "Thom Yorke" entry.
Lissner	strongly suggest you check out the richard hawley album; could be the surprise winner at 8-1
Terminator2	Hot chip will win it, hands down the best album from that list. Guillemots also a good shout but I think Hot chip will take it.
Jeff	What's age got to do with anything??
I know you know	Muse best but too old. Arctics have passed the peak of the hype. It will be between Thom (sympathy vote) and Guillemots.
