Radiohead, Noel Gallagher and Kasabian are among the acts that have been named early favourites for the Mercury Prize 2012.
Bookies William Hill have released an extremely early perdition for next year's potential Mercury Prize winner. Kasabain have been named favourite to pick up the award with their forthcoming new album 'Velociraptor!', followed by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Other contenders include Coldplay, Florence and The Machine, Mumford & Sons and Ed Sheeran.
PJ Harvey picked up the Mercury Prixe 2011 for her album 'Let England Shake' on Tuesday night (September 6).
Nominees for this year's Mercury were Adele, Tinie Tempah, Everything Everything, Anna Calvi, Ghostpoet, Gwilym Simcock, Katy B, James Blake, Metronomy, PJ Harvey and King Creosote & Jon Hopkins.
The odds for the Mercury Music Prize in 2012 are as follows:
Kasabian (7/1) Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (8/1) Radiohead (8/1) Ed Sheeran (10/1) Florence and the Machine (10/1) Coldplay (12/1) Mumford & Sons (16/1) Rizzle Kicks (20/1) Example (20/1) Calvin Harris (20/1) Wretch 32 (25/1) Laura Marling (25/1) Miles Kane (25/1) Elbow (33/1) All The Young (33/1) Jessie J (33/1) Professor Green (50/1) Hard-Fi (66/1) Charlie Simpson (80/1)
what does that mean? and what is this prize all about? is it a good sign that this album is good or is it just because of his big name?

If Oasis were releasing an album there's no way they'd be early favourites. It's interesting.

how can Prof Green be 50/1
25,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000/1 would be more apt

It is WAY too early for Mercury Prize speculations, like really, REALLY too early. If Noel is nominated, it'll be because of the AA album that will be out by this time next year.
Ed Sheeran, Wretch 32, and Professor Green will be nowhere to be found by this time next year. Charlie Simpson will still be the boyband guy trying to pursue a solo career.
The Sound of 2012 poll will make a better picture for us coming at the end of the year.
