Quite a surprise reading this thread: I was expecting all Katie Melua and Phil Collins! 
 
  I watched some of the Mercury Prize on TV the other week.
 Thing is with the current crop of UK bands, they're such nice polite boys, with their pretty melodies; the sort I'd be happy if my daughter brought one home (if I had a daughter). Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Keane... 
 I liked Amy Winehouse.    
 And the last CD I bought?
 The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - Gil Scott-Heron.
