the selection is a choice, I believe Beth Gibbons will take this one

[sunbathinganimal]

wait where the **** is Heaven Knows

 

[HonourableVomit]

I think Last Dinner Party will take it (zzz) but I'm shocked/appalled/disappointed at not nominating PJ Harvey 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

really, no dua nomination? yikes

[killer_rose]

CMAT better take this. 
The opening song "California" alone eats up all of your faves.

[makeawish]

i don't like many of the picks here. brat is good (and inevitable), i like TLDP album too but the massive push it's gotten is feeling very payola at this point, nothing else of interest 

 

would have liked to see pinkpantheress, baby queen and salute. does feel like a surprise that heaven knows isn't here

Nah, they never pick the album that is the most commercially successful. The fact that Amy's Back to Black lost to the Klaxons

 

I can see Black Rainbows taking it

no live performances this year! bit lame, may as well just stick the winner up on twitter if they're not making any effort
