12.01.11 | I'd lol if it wasn't so genuinely sad and disappointing. |
Masochist
12.01.11 | Arcade Fire took home Best Album of the Year last year (over albums like 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', which is oddly enough the only time I've ever thought that Kanye actually deserved an award he didn't win). I have my suspicions that the Grammys did it simply to try and get some "indie" cred, but I was still damn surprised that it happened.
That being said...Bon Iver is up for Best Motherfucking New Artist. Damn it all... |
Vesper
12.01.11 | Isn't that category technically Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance?
You sensationalist.
Trying to create unnecessary arguments and bitching on Sputnik, the nerve!! |
TMobotron
12.01.11 | Haha FUCKING REALLY? Best *NEW ARTIST*? That's seriously just insane. Fuck me. I need to never pay attention to the grammys. |

12.01.11 | i didn't know skrillex wrote those lyrics.. |
Satellite
12.01.11 | fftl was even worse than skrillex |
Scoot
12.01.11 | "Skrillex should stop trying to be cool and reform fftl with Matt good."
that would be significantly weaker than what he's doing now |
TMobotron
12.01.11 | @ Pharoh yeah right he's so fuckin successful right now and will be for a long ass time. Also the scene (his fanbase that was into that sound) is dying. So good luck with those hopes. |
theacademy
12.01.11 | The award will be discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, all solo or duo/group performances in the hard rock and metal categories will be shifted to either the newly formed Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category. |
climactic
12.01.11 | "Arcade Fire took home Best Album of the Year last year (over albums like 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', which is oddly enough the only time I've ever thought that Kanye actually deserved an award he didn't win)"
im pretty sure MBDTF wasnt nominated because it was released too late in the year. could be wrong though |
theacademy
12.01.11 | i agree with 36C i actually sorta like skrillex it's just highly larious

12.01.11 | Ahh, you are absolutely right, Climactic. It WASN'T nominated last year. I thought it should've been, but it's not nominated this year for Album of the Year, either...only for Best Rap Album. Arcade Fire won over Eminem, which I thought was surprising, but not disappointing.
And yeah, Foo Fighters absolutely deserve that award...but I'd be surprised if they got it, to be honest. |

Wow, Deviant. Why the hell would Skrillex thank Korn for a genre HE created!? |
Deviant.
12.01.11 | But Jonathan Davis said...... |
Masochist
12.01.11 | Jonathan Davis nothing. Korn wasn't the first band to dubstep, they weren't even second. They were the third.
Get your facts straight, Electronica guru. |
Pharoh
12.01.11 | Yeah Korn created dubstep. Didn't you know? |

12.01.11 | thank you for the dubstep Louis Armstrong, thank you. |

12.01.11 | "Nustep"
In all honesty, a fitting genre name. Sputnik mods should get on adding that to the pie chart/genre list. |

12.01.11 | They need to rename the grammys the billboard chart awards |
Masochist
12.01.11 | Also Alternative Album of the Year. But no, who the heck saw that coming?
Mumford & Sons also got nominated for a million awards for their album that came out in 2008. Fun stuff. |
TomAkaVeto
12.01.11 | Is Skrillex even on the billboards? I didn't think he even got radio play, but I don't listen to the radio, so I wouldn't know. |
Trebor.
12.01.11 | He's very well known, mostly because of the internet |
Masochist
12.01.11 | Don't know if he got any actual airplay, but his brand of Nustep was the biggest fad in music this
year (aside from Mumford & Sons), so of course the Grammys are going to try and cash in on that (for
ratings/"relevancy"). |

aok
12.01.11 | aside from slipknot and slayer, i actually enjoy all that shit.
also i'm glad skrillex is getting attention. he's pretty run of the mill and way too popular purely because joel zimmerman likes him, but the more legit notoreity he gets, the more people will listen to similar stuff so i'm down |
Destructerator
12.01.11 | Hope he gets it. |
Jash
12.01.11 | It's a big step forward for Dubstep, but it sucks that it had to be Skrillex |

Deviant.
12.01.11 | "It's a big step forward for Dubstep,"
Errr, Burial being nominated for the Mercury Prize was a big deal |
Jash
12.01.11 | Oh I'm sorry Dev, let me re-phrase: a big step for dubstep recognition in North America |
Jash
12.01.11 | Dubstep has been much closer to mainstream in the UK compared to North America and pretty much everywhere else for a little while now |
Recspecs
12.01.11 | How the hell is Bon Iver considered a new artist? Or even Skrillex for that matter. |
SCREAM!
12.01.11 | It always makes me sad that there's only one metal category...then I see who they nominated and I'm ok with it |
taylormemer

AliW1993
12.01.11 | Bon Iver being nominated for New Artist is beyond a joke, not that it surprises me.
Also, is there any difference whatsoever between Song of the Year and Record of the Year? The shortlists are almost identical. |
Eulogize
12.01.11 | Next year on the Grammy's: [insert big deathcore band here] gets nominated.
oh shit |
Zorak
12.01.11 | Fuck the Grammys |
Masochist
12.01.11 | "Also, is there any difference whatsoever between Song of the Year and Record of the Year? The shortlists are almost identical."
Song Of The Year is the actual song, and the artist gets the award. Record of the Year is the production of the song, and so the production team gets the award.
So really...no, there's no difference. |
Aids
12.01.11 | calling it now: he will win best new artist
lol grammys. they showed such promise by making a pretty decent pick for AOTY last year (The Suburbs) even though 2010 was the one year I thought they actually should have picked a mainstream album for AOTY (Kanye West). but yeah, lol grammys. |
MikeC26
12.01.11 | Putting emphasis on the Grammy's, or any other music award is silly tbqh.
It's just a bunch of pretentious critics with embarrassingly narrow musical preferences.

12.01.11 | they aren't pretentious critics theyre industry suits |
theacademy
12.01.11 | @Aids going from their shitty nominees
2011 should have gone to the Fame Monster or Recovery
2010 should have gone to the Fame
2009 they got right
2007 and 2008 should have just been cancelled
2006 should have gone to Gwen Stefani
2005 could have gone to Kanye but probably should have gone to Green Day
2004 they got right
2003 "Nellyville" was nominated so i'm not even going to go there
2002 they got right (although maybe Stankonia should have won instead)
2001 MMLP duh
2000 fine with that |
Aids
12.01.11 | ugh fuck you now I have to look up who won cause I dont follow the grammys
to the wikipedia machine |
Aids
12.01.11 | first of all, why do they fuck up the years? Suburbs was 2010 but they call it 2011 (etc). I know the show takes place early in the next year but still..
ok, just going by who was nominated:
2011 they got right
2010 they got right (TSwift > gaga, sorry. I would have been ok with Gaga though)
2009 should have been Coldplay, that album is one of my favourites
2008 ..... i don't know/care
2007 should have gone to John Mayer
2006 should have gone to Kanye
2005 pretty good nominations that year. would have been ok with anything probably, though my pick would be Kanye
2004 they got right, would have been ok with The White Stripes too
2003 .... don't know/care. nellyville lol
2002 agree with you: they got it right but could have gone to Outkast
2001 Kid A or MMLP (i know you hate Kid A but that should have won for sure, my 3rd or 4th favourite album)
2000 Backstreet Boys wuz robbed! |
Aids
12.01.11 | lol Celine Dion won in 97. at least Alanis Morissette won in 96. |

12.01.11 | ......
so? what point are you trying to make here? (edit @ Baseline) |

12.01.11 | fair play
FUCK YOU XENO
how's the veg lifestyle treating you? |

12.01.11 | you're right baseline. the grammys always nominate the best albums of the year and never fuck anything up.
you really outdid yourself with that comment there (and the worst part is that I know you were serious) |

theacademy
12.01.11 | disagree with you xeno re: the oscars
the awards show has some ups and downs but an oscar means significantly more to anyone in the industry than a grammy |
Aids
12.01.11 | word, beans are a central part of my diet. careful with overusing tofu though. as I recently found out, too much processed soy is bad for you. it's good in moderation of course, just don't use it in every meal. you were raised on "real" hot-dogs so probably won't feel the same way, but Yves veggie dogs give me scores of boners. |
theacademy
12.01.11 | or especially an emmy
the emmy's were written off like a decade and a half ago (basically supplanted by the golden globes) |
Aids
12.01.11 | 'an oscar means significantly more to anyone in the industry than a grammy"
yeah this is true. oscars actually mean something (I still remember who won best picture/actor/actress/director for the past 10 years or something) but everyone forgets about a grammy in a couple of years. |
