Mercury Prize Winning Band, 'The xx'. Did they deserve it??

This year 'The xx' won a Barclays Mercury Prize award for their eponymous 2009 album. I personally love The xx, and although I didn't see the other nominees, I assume they deserved the award. I've had the album for around a year now and I still haven't really stopped listening to it. But I've seen posts around the internet saying that they should not have won, and that 'the underdogs always get the award'.

What do you guys think? Do you like 'The xx'? Should they have won the award?
