So who do you think will win?

Is the shortlist good? Any glaring ommissions? Which ones do you own or will consider buying?

um who the hell are The Go! Team.... are they gonna be the cast for another Thunderbirds remake?

I hope KT Tunstall gets it over Kaiser Chiefs, much as I like KC that result would be too predictable.

I'm basing my vote on the big black horse and the cherry tree... the new 1 sounds more like Avril Lavigne... no bad thing but not really KT's style.

lead singer of Kaiser Chiefs went to my school; Ricky Wilson.
Everyone should buy the new Reigns album
I love Anthony and the Johnsons but does anyone else?

There is not a bad track on the kaiser Chief's album, I think it should be them.

Saw Hard-Fi supporting Green Day and they weren't half bad either.

I like all but two songs, but I can forgive them for that because they're SUCH NICE BOYS and they have so much ENERGY, which makes them very VERY endearing
