Mercury Prize 2015: The Albums NME Readers Are Gutted Didn’t Make The Shortlist

That’s three times as many solo artists as bands, which is something NME readers were truly gutted about when we asked for their reactions to the list. The likes of Drenge, Gengahr, Peace, Blur, Everything Everything and The Maccabees are sorely missed. There are only 12 spaces available – here are some of the albums from the past 12 months that you think deserved to make the final cut.
