good on them

Foals were robbed.

I like how it says "trio" yet has a picture of a group of eight. hmmmm.

anyway good for them. They deserved it

And The Blood Brothers were a 20 man band:

I liked the music, the vocals were pretty bad for the most part. I should listen to it again though.

It isn't metal or american indie so sputnik doesn't care about it

this band is good but i hate their queer indie hipster fans

Fuck Foals.

well deserved

I'd have preferred it if Foals or Biffy Clyro had won but it could have been a lot worse.

what biffy are shit

Wild Beasts or Foals are way better, award was won based off buzz, nothing more.

Laura Marling deserved it so much more.

hell yes

thing is

the mercury music prize is the biggest load of shit ever

token jazz albums everywhere year, fucking lol

My favourite out of the contenders. Deserved

I think xx deserved it- the record is an intense piece of music.
The fact that the vocals are bad doesn't matter, as that's not what they're going for. I think they deserve it.

I like the vocals

Awesome news, loved that album.

u should listen to new order. that's where they ripped most of their songs from.

glad to hear it, they're definitely a great band

"I think xx deserved it- the record is an intense piece of music."

Wait a minute, the XX are good and everything but "intense"? Really?

Love these guys good for them

The best thing the xx ever did was to provide the instrumentals to one of the best mashup mixtapes of 2010.

Aside from that, overblown hipster hype.

Yeah would have preferred Foals.

Really Liked their debut album but yeah have to go along with alot of people i would have preferred Foals to get this as Total Life Forever is one of the best albums of the year for me.

These guys are alright, but the some of the other contenders deserved to have won to be honest.

The xx are pretty ordinary, the Foals aren't great. Would have loved for Wild Beasts to have won. But then most of the music getting any attention in the UK is average at best at the moment anyway.

Xx are good, but Laura Marling.....

"The best thing the xx ever did was to provide the instrumentals to one of the best mashup mixtapes of 2010."

Truth. I enjoyed their album, but the mashup tape was SO MUCH BETTER. I think Biffy deserved it, if I had to choose between these few artists.

That mashup was godawful

That mashup was godawful

Music makes believers of us all. I have heard a hard scientistic atheist struggling, in quasi-religious terms, to explain the effect of a late Beethoven quartet, and I have seen a Schubert sonata render strong, dull men speechless and tearful. And, like almost every other baby-boomer, I can remember rock concerts when the sound, the movement and the intense involvement of the crowd transported me to...where, exactly? by ByNike Air Max TN
