Amy Winehouse and Arctic Monkeys were pretty much the only other notable names.

The Mercury Music Prize is basically there just to give money to artists. It doesn't actually boost sales or anything. Well, it didn't for the Arctic Monkeys at least.
But congrats on the Klaxons, they had some tough competition.

Glad Klaxons won cos they dont seem to be up there own arses and theyre albums quite unique. Though i think maybe bat for lashes shouldve won because shes mesmerising and klaxons get a fair bit of attention anyways. awards are just there to boost record sales anyhow, its just a few peoples opinion.

The only album I halfway enjoyed that was nominated was "Favourite Worst Nightmare". The rest of the bands are...for want of a better term...crap.

Isn't this meant to be about originality or something? Klaxons have done nothing original. They just pulled a practical joke on the NME and made some decent indie music.
