The Mercury Prize was introduced in 1992, so it's not like those folks were snubbing Revolver. Still, McCartney has released 11 solo albums in the time since the Mercury Prize started, so he's been passed over plenty of times. As of today, McCartney is a first-time Mercury Prize nominee. Now that I think of it, he's the first Beatle ever to get a Mercury Prize nomination. Britpop greats Suede won the second-ever Mercury Prize for their self-titled 1993 debut, and now they've got their third nomination for Antidepressants.
