Who do you want to win?

 

[mistahclarke]

only heard of 3 three of them. 2 are crap which only leaves the Modfather, and has he even done anything good since pebbles on a beach?

 

[Smithy]

The xx for me.

 

[brighton_girl87]

I'd quite like The xx to win but I can see it being Mumford & Sons.

 

[Robdinho]

The xx for me.

and me.

Hope Wild Beasts don't win, I think they're awful. Played a few gigs with them many years ago when they were just starting out and I assumed they were a joke/pisstake band cos the singer's voice is so ridiculous.

 

[n1 gull]

I actually really like the Corinne Bailey Rae album and think it might sneak it

 

[Skaville]

XX please

 

[auschr]

What happened to the lady that won it last year? did she ever chart?

 

[vegster]

I'd love to see Laura Marling win it

 

[Lush]

Please not The XX. Dullest album ever.

 

[Skaville]

Quite bizarre watching Miranda Sawyer and Lauren Laverene with their bumps while my missus shifts around uncomfotably with her own huge 37 week bump. Is EVERYONE pregnant?

 

[The Face]

Marling

 

[fire&skill]

Weller.

 

[Albion Edd]

I hope Marling wins

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

I'd like Mumford or Foals to win.

Huge fan of both.

 

[Simster]

Mumford, Foals or The XX please

 

[Simster]

The XX. Marvellous.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

No surprise there. Pretty pleased but would have loved foals to win.

 

[Smithy]

They seem a bit nervous on camera.

 

[Simster]

They seem a bit nervous on camera.
