Posted July 12, 201312 yr There's roughly another two months to go before the shortlist is announced but there is no harm in starting to think about what might be on it. I am expecting to see Jake Bugg on the list with Bastille a strong possibility. I would be delighted if Public Service Broadcasting get one of the "something a bit different" places.
July 12, 201312 yr James Blake Foals The XX Mumford and Sons Pet Shop Boys - Electric The Irrepressibles (this must win) //predictions - not necessarily what I want (apart from PSB and The Irrepressibles). Have the Pet Shop Boys ever been nominated before? Edited July 12, 201312 yr by AnthonyT
July 12, 201312 yr I agree with Public Service Broadcasting 110%, and Jake Bugg and Bastille are good shouts as well. Aside from that, other outside bets could be Primal Scream, "Broadside" by Bellowhead and "The New Life" by Girls Names.
July 12, 201312 yr And as much as I would love Suede to get their 3rd Mercury nomination, I can't see it happening.
July 12, 201312 yr Author And as much as I would love Suede to get their 3rd Mercury nomination, I can't see it happening. I'm afraid I have to agree. It's a very good album but I can't see it making the list.
July 12, 201312 yr Savages, Laura Marling, James Blake and Foals seem most obvious. David Bowie? Mumford & Sons? Jake Bugg? Are they all too (bleh) big to ignore?
July 12, 201312 yr I think it'll be between Savages and Laura Marling, unless something remarkable is released over the summer.
July 12, 201312 yr David Bowie James Blake Everything Everything Bat for Lashes Jake Bugg Foals Disclosure Laura Marling Jon Hopkins Savages Ghostpoet ^ some of the contenders i'd imagine

July 12, 201312 yr I didn't really take to the Bat For Lashes album. side note - isn't it time for another PJ Harvey album?
July 12, 201312 yr James Blake/Everything Everything to win pls. SevenSeize's list looks solid but lacking the obligatory obscure jazz/whatever album. I don't think there's a blatantly obvious frontrunner this year which should make things a bit more exciting. Mind, it probably will become obvious by the time the award is actually given out.

July 12, 201312 yr Any obvious dance albums? Disclosure are the obvious ones. I have no idea about anyone else who could be nominated, apart from Calvin Harris which would be ridiculous.
July 12, 201312 yr Author side note - isn't it time for another PJ Harvey album? Definitely. Although I'm sure you mean PJ Harvey MBE :D
