🎤 THE WORLD CUP OF MERCURY PRIZE RUNNERS UP (As voted by the DiS community) 🎤 THE FINAL - Post 66 onwards

That was one of the few album on this list that I didn’t know before. It’s really good and deserved its place in the World Cup. Just too much quality in the group sadly.

I think they’ve been forgotten a bit, or at least dismissed as record collector stylistic bandwagon jumpers to an extent even though Primary Colours anticipated a lot of trends ahead.

Time for the last 16 clashes….

Same! :joy:

Can’t believe the fucking Streets have two albums in this, and both have made the second round. Fuck’s sake. Bad enough there’s four Radioheads. Never stop never stopping, DiS.
