hot dog Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 For those unaware, the Mercury Prize is a fairly prestigious/highbrow UK prize for best album, irrespective of genres - so it could be rock, indie, jazz, classical etc. The 2008 albums of the year are: Adele - 19 British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? Burial - Untrue Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid Estelle - Shine Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim Neon Neon - Stainless Style Portico Quartet - Knee-Deep in the North Sea Rachel Unthank & The Winterset - The Bairns Radiohead - In Rainbows Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7519452.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird because I like some of Alison's solo stuff and I like most of Plants solo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxie Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've never heard of any of those other albums or artists apart from RP/AK and Radiohead. Me thinks I need to broaden my musical spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
