12. The Seldom Seen Kid / Elbow
Meet The Seldom Seen Kid. You may have overlooked him. He writes great songs in a fine British-rock tradition, with a mercurial whimsy befitting of a Manchester recording. He wins the coveted Mercury Music Prize in 2008 for best album in the United Kingdom or Ireland. He is musically more interesting than some of his contemporaries, bands who shall remain nameless, but rhyme with Foldplay, Blow Control, or Weane. He wishes you would pick him up from time to time and listen to what he has to say. Sounds like a decent bloke, right?
