Kid Cudi is in the long list for the BBC Sound Poll of 2009!
The poll works by taking the opinions of more than 130 of the UK's top music critics and broadcasters - from magazine editors and music writers through to DJs and producers.
They were asked to name their three favourite new music acts, which could be from any country and any genre, but must not have already had a UK top 20 single or album.
The 15 that make the grade are The Big Pink, Dan Black, VV Brown, Empire Of The Sun, Florence And The Machine, Frankmusik, La Roux, Lady Gaga, Little Boots, Master Shortie, Mumford & Sons, Passion Pit, The Temper Trap, White Lies and Kid Cudi.
