I was delighted that Elbow won the Mercury Prize last night. As previously mentioned on here, they were one of my gig revelations of the year and they rocked the house at Latitude. The album is just great and they thoroughly deserve it. And what a cool speech. We all know that awards are subjective and perhaps don't mean much in the grander scheme of things. But they were genuinely chuffed to bits to win.
So it got me thinking about how many of the previous winning albums I actually own. It was more than I thought.
Screamadelica
Suede
Different Class
Franz Ferdinand
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Myths of the Near Future
The Seldom Seen Kid
Hmmm, pretty indie, no?
