Can't be like the Mercury Music Prize.... As I've actually liked quite a few of those albums on the Welsh list.

if it's wales's equivalent of the mercury music prize then it should probably go to a new act. The manics don't need it.. they've opened libraries so its a given that they're welsh royalty

Pleased to read about this! Good to have a list worth looking at for a change. Obviously I would Postcards to get the vote but if not then definitely The Big Roar!

Tom probably doesn't make the list because he last visited Wales in 1947

Yeah, but they don't sing about wales, they don't have welsh themes, they don't sing in welsh..was more my point. Pick up an album and you wouldn't know it was from a welsh band.

It's from a Welsh perspective. The Big Roar doesn't have anything particularly 'Welsh' about it in terms of themes etc either!
