Who Should Win the 2009 Polaris Music Prize, Round II



Since May 25 we've been asking 'Who Should Win the 2009 Polaris Music Prize'. The list that people came up with is below. Now we're going to start making the list shorter. We're not going to do it the same way that Polaris does though. Between now (June 15) and July 7 people can vote in the survey below. - You can vote once per day and vote for as many albums as you like. The poll below will close on July 7 and we'll publish a new poll with the top 20. That will start a second round of voting and between July and August we'll reduce it to a top 10. Then the third round of voting will go until September 21 (the date of the Polaris Gala) when we'll announce NxEW readers #1 pick on the same day. Happy voting!

(On Edit: I've now included the albums listed by Polaris but not originally by us. Many of them, based on previous conversations - I don't expect to make it to the next round, but at least now I think we have a really good list of last years best stuff.)

Again you can vote for as many as you like, and vote every day!

Remember - you're voting (at the moment) for the top 20.

Excellent list and I'm excited to see the results. There are a few EPs here though (Final Fantasy, Years). I completely forgot about Snailhouse. That was a great album.

Wow that is an awesome list and I do not envy the Judges on narrowing that one down cause some awesome records are gonna get cut!

Probably should have mentioned this earlier but it's "O My Heart" not "O My" for Mother Mother...
and if I'd known that EPs were allowed on the list I would've totally pitched for Stars' Sad Robots!

Yeah, we were originally saying no EPs but there were so many being pitched and I was kinda 'what the hell, it's not the real thing anyway'
