Yesterday was the 13th Anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death, whilst [almost] coincidentally, tomorrow marks the occasion of the 13th
Mercury Music Prize, which he had
nothing to do with.
In that time, we've seen
classical-punk piano recitals nominated,
agit-prop rockers repeatedly snubbed and Radiohead routinely listed but falling short [though not this year.]. It's always a varied list, but are
you really interested in the obscure, the fusion, the orchestral and the jazz?
Listen to 'em all
here , and fill up the gaps
here. A complete list of past nominees and winners can be found
here , and the bookies seem to rate both
The Streets and
Franz Ferdinand worthy of the accolade, according to odds published
here.
Will ascullion again pick the winner? Listen on the web to find out tomorrow, midnight GMT, or watch on digital TV in the UK .
