One song from each album should be enough to get you all started. ;-)

Got to be Jungle

Just don't get Royal Blood, their success annoys me which is totally irrational! From the list it would be BBC for me, cracking album.

FKA Twigs album is brilliant.

I like Royal Blood, saw them play at Rough Trade the other week, their success does leave me a bit suspicious, won't stop me enjoying them in Madrid this Saturday though.

Saw Jungle at Village Underground some time back. Brilliant show & album.

Albarn's album is decent, as is FKA in parts. Love BBC too...always evolving and trying something different. Like Nick Mulvey & just getting into Royal Blood.

Will try the others out...Cheers Callum.

FKA Twigs is my fave from that list.

Rothko

Massive fan of the East India Youth album, but nothing close to the BBC album for me

JakeCAFC_94

Got to be Twigs or Damon Albarn!

All_Thaid_Up

Love Jungle, kate tempest and GoGo penguin.
BBC, Albarn and FKA all good.

I think it's one of the best Mercury lists for a long time and I wouldn't grumble about any winning.

Actually agree that Jungle are brilliant as well. It really is a good list, although I'm still not feeling that Albarn album.

The Red Robin

Jungle, Royal Blood or Damon Albarn for me.
