Mercury has two and a half albums I like; PJ has one single I love, and quite a few I think are pretty good. So pj has it, but it's surprisingly close. Uniting Nations to win PJ, if only to confirm the H2 theory. (Actually losing confirms it even better, esp. if they miss out to Mylo who is the indie-ist rip off of proper trash dance).
