The shortlist for the Polaris Music Prize 2011 was announced today. I was way off with my predictions, but here are this year’s top 10. Let me know who you think will be this year’s winner!

Arcade Fire- The Suburbs

I actually didn’t think that they would make the shortlist because it was too popular/predictable.
Arcade Fire- We Used to Wait
