Another WTF for The View. What a godawful band.

I like a few of these bands but can't pretend I've heard the albums in full. I'd imagine Winehouse will probably be the favourite, they won't want to give it to the Polar Chimps two years in a row.

Of the ones I am familiar with, I like Maps best although as ms_bracken points out above, I would hate them to have the kiss of death planted on them. Srsly, if I was ever good/successful enough to get a Mercury nomination I would crawl into a hole and hope all the attention went away.
