Do you feel compelled to check out any of the above?
Do you think this is a fair representation of British Music in 2009?
How do this lot shape up against last year's nominees?

IMHO, there's only one halfway decent song ("Tigerlily") on the La Roux album which isn't "Quicksand" - it's all horribly, horribly overrated. I did try to listen fairly (and it's a genre I'm slightly more predisposed to like, not that that usually means much!) but no, really, it's mostly a waste of time. Not that I've very surprised. Elly herself appears to be an annoying pain, but I'm not sure how much of the musical input is hers anyway.
