Vote for your alternative Mercury Prize winners
If you feel that this year's Mercury Prize nominees do not represent the 'best of British', here are two alternatives by Drowned in Sound and Popjustice.
DiS' Pluto Prize highlights 12 brilliant albums that missed the Mercury cut. Why Pluto? "Because it’s about as far away from Mercury as you can get in the Solar System."
Registered users can pick a winner from: The Bug, Foals, Fuck Buttons, Future of the Left, PJ Harvey, Johnny Foreigner, M.I.A., Mystery Jets, Portishead, These New Puritans, Wild Beasts, and Robert Wyatt.
