Who would you picked to win if you got to decide?

Also did Franz Ferdinand deserve to win?
I thought their album wasn't anything special :-\

The only band on there that I've heard before is Franz Ferdinand, and they suck.

[JJ Moore]

The only band on there that I've heard before is Franz Ferdinand, and they suck.

[Tornado]

Franz Ferdinand, The Zutons or Snow Patrol...

[diothoir]

Franz Ferdinand are the only band on that list I like, so yes.

[Rob]

I haven't heard one of their albums but of the stuff I have heard, I'd pick Snow Patrol.

[LK]

Snow Patrol should have won. I fail to see what is so great about the Franz.

[Outsider]

A large amount of the albums tend to be bland, shit indie.

The Streets deserve to win for doing something so original and different yet still managaing to get it to work

[TheNamelessOne]

I have no faith in any awards ceremony at all these days. I mean The Darkness won a song writing award earlier this year, which really weirded me out.

Oh, and Joss Stone didn't deserve to be on that list. Shes hot, but her voice and music are completly overrated.
