The annual Mercury award shortlist for the album of year was revealed on Tuesday, with a strong showing for female artists and an eclectic mix of genres including urban, electro and old-fashioned guitar bands. Among the favourites is veteran artist and our favourite PJ Harvey for her album Let England Shake. Harvey was the first woman to win the award back in 2001 for the album Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, but was not able to collect the prize in person because she was unable to leave the US after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
