The XX wins Mercury Prize

As you may have seen elsewhere The XX wins the Mercury Prize. Some competitors were Corinne Bailey Ray, Foals, Dizzee Rascal.

As I'm curious I had a look at the past nominees and winners of the prize. They are listed here. First prize was decerned to Primal Scream in '92. U2 and Simply Red were some of their competitors. Lists of past years for nominees are also impressive (Radiohead, PJ Harvey, Coldplay, Bloc Party...).
