Elbow wins the Mercury

Elbow claimed the Mercury Prize for their album Seldom Seen Kid. This is a surprise win over Radiohead's In Rainbows, although the Mercury has often gone to more offbeat choices. My ranking of the nominees:

1. Radiohead
2. The Last Shadow Puppets
3. Estelle
4. Adele
5. Elbow
6. Alison Krauss & Robert Plan
7. British Sea Power
8. Neon Neon
