Mercury Music Prize 2020 Poll

[Quark]

Have at it!

EDIT: Clarification - this is a vote for your preferred winner, not who you think the judges will name as the winner.

Is this who we think should win or who we think will win?

Your vote for the best album, not trying to second guess the judges

[Mattymooz]

Got 5 to listen to but I'm pretty happy with that, the only one that I don't think is as good as the others (from the ones I've listened to) is Stormzy. I felt like his record was a bit all over the place - it was good but it didnt blow me away. Would rather have had Jessie Ware/Sam Fender/Rina Sawayama etc.

EDIT: Forgot Twigs didnt make the list either, she'd be worth a shout

I've realised that whatever your answer, my pick was the same anyway 😂

As I mentioned in the other thread, though, I'd hoped for SAULT which would have been what I'd have gone for. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Give it to big Mick right now. 

[zeppelin]

Also I copied the list and send it to my mates and only afterwards did I notice Pablo Honey 😂

Gonna see if they notice.

Yeah, put that in as a gag but underestimated efests and it's already got 2 bloody votes

[jparx]

Voted for Pablo because I love me some low hanging fruit.

Torn between Dua Lipa and Sports Team as my genuine vote, though.

[zeppelin]

I've gone for Michael, but would love Georgia to pick it up if not him. 

[nikkic]

Hang on so The 1975 aren’t even on the list? 
 

Yer lass looks like even more of a whopper now.

[priest17]

Give/Take it to Porridge Radio.

I just felt like the middle of Seeking Thrills dropped off a bit too much for it to be a contender for me.  Would have been in my AOTY halfway point list if that hadn't been the case.

[gigpusher]

I'm not voting yet because I like to be fair so will listen to all at least 3 times first but thanks for setting it up. My heart still says it will take a lot to beat Kiwanuka. 

[lessthanwill1]

How I’m Feeling Now is by far and away my favourite. Would like to see it given to Porridge Radio. 

Think it will be given to Kano or MK. 

[kaytee...]

Michael Kiwanuka or Porridge Radio but FKA Twigs was robbed

I'm surprised it's not winning TBH.

Will you have to change your shirt?

I hope so.  It's getting threadbare.

[Padjeq]

Only listened to 6 of them, but Dua Lipa's album is my favourite.

Charli released a better album than the one nominated in the same eligibility period. Shame Rina didn't make it.

[priest17]

Can someone give Georgia and Lanterns a vote please its a bit tight they've got nothing and a 27 year old britpop album has 3 votes ahah, you'll scare them off playing at glastonbury.

[Diamond24]

My favourite is Sports Team, followed by Dua Lipa. The only other two I've listened to are Michael Kiwanuka and Stormzy though tbh. 

[FloorFiller]

Micky K’s got this easily imo. 

Also, although I really liked her album and agree it should probably be here, Nadine Shah must be feeling like a big dumb dumb right about now.

[zeppelin]

Just gone back to look at Nadine's tweets and tbf to her:

She knows she f**ked up.

I'm not.  What are the tweets that got deleted?
