Hey Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had the best album of ALL TIME!!

the Black Eyed Peas being on this list just goes to show you how shitty the Grammys really are. Silversun Pickups being on here is kind of redeeming though.

Only good song on Death Magnetic nominated for "best hard rock"

still "Check My Brain" deserves to win

I'M ON A BOAT NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY = WINNCINNATI

"the Black Eyed Peas being on this list just goes to show you how shitty the Grammys really are"

This.

So John Legend is pretty much my man crush and he should definitely win his. But I laughed when I saw Nickelback nominated for best hard rock performance.

i might be wrong but didnt The Fame come out in 08

The fuck is MGMT doing on here?

The Grammys really seem to be appealing to their namesake.

i might be wrong but didnt The Fame come out in 08

Only good song on Death Magnetic nominated for "best hard rock"

"Dissident Aggressor - Live
Judas Priest"

Lol, I hope this wins. It's actually and amazing live performance.

wtf, did they run out of "Hard Rock"?

For recordings released during the Eligibility Year
October 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009


oh didnt see that. Its a bit misleading then to say album of the "year"

I think it's funny, all of the strange categories you start seeing at the end of the list. I'm really paying close attention to the "Best Spoken Word Album for Children" category this year. Should be a real nailbiter.

urgh that deadline thing is so stupid...guaranteed next year we see another 4 crappy jay-z songs from blueprint 3 nominated across the board...

Head Crusher had better win in Metal

how come these are so far off of what the real good stuff this year are?

oh didnt see that. Its a bit misleading then to say album of the "year"

so it's pretty funny that Beyonce isn't even up for short video of the year.

Since when are Silversun Pickups a new artist?

the ting-tings? Really?

wait, silversun pickups are a new artist?

Apparently, the heads of the Grammy's only shop at wal-mart and swap music with their 14 year old daughters...

Oh, and:

Since when are Silversun Pickups a new artist?

Grammys are a joke, nuff said.

What is being nominated for "Best of the Year" is making most real music critics "Worst of the Year" lists...

I wish my best to Silversun Pickups, it would be cool if one talented band won an award

what is this bullshit

Since when are the Silversun Pickups good? The Ting Tings>Silversun Pickups...

Silversun Pickups are new?

Big Whiskey must win album of the year. It won't, though...

wtf Señor Peligro by Ministry didn't come out in '09

Also, Headcrusher better win.

wtf Señor Peligro by Ministry don't come out in '09

found underoath buried in a meaningless award.

Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package :
Lost In The Sound Of Separation (Deluxe Edition)
Jordan Butcher, art director (Underoath)
[Tooth & Nail Records]

well underoath does fit in with the rest of the crap on dem lists...

what the fuck is zac brown band

you guys act like you're surprised by these nominations


although phoenix on here rules

If I cared I'd be cheering for Beyonce, Silversun Pickups, Coldplay, Kings Of Leon, Wilco, Imogen Heap, and Colbert.
If Silversun Pickups and Colbert win I'll milk the snake to a picture of Glenn Beck.

Zac Brown Band is this really shitty country band that my parents listen to. Don't waste your time.

What a sack of garbage. Why don't they have an awards show for good music?

lol
a grammy

ugh..............

yeah this is pretty hilarious

this is a travesty

The Ting Tings? THE TING TINGS!!?!?! LUCIFER HIMSELF WOULDN'T BE SO VILE!!

This is a trainwreck. There is no rational realm in which I Gotta Feeling is award-worthy.

...
...
D:

So...I hear music is no longer an art...it's business.

*Facepalm*

Oh wow, I can see people getting pretty pissed about all this.

Since when are the Silversun Pickups good? The Ting Tings>Silversun Pickups...

this is weird considering Lazy Eye and Well Thought Out Twinkles were way bigger songs than Panic Switch ever was

my respect for the grammys has considerably raised

Michael are you fo srs?

And the amount of Brian Eno is awesome as well.

In what way?
Silversun better than the Ting Tings? You bloody well bet I am.
My first experience of a grammy nomination list? This is the first time I've had access to one right in front of me, I would never have bothered scouring the internet for one in previous years.

youve never watched the grammys? theyre always shit

Typical Sputnik reaction... though, I totally agree with everyone on how much this list sucks.

so who decides on these nominations anyway? a bunch of grammas?

the grammy's have become a joke. a really bad joke.

seriously...there's so much awful music on just this portion of the list alone, it boggles the mind.

youve never watched the grammys? theyre always shit

Theres actually like a whole process to it, http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/Voting/

but I get what you're saying.

Is that the chick from Landmine Marathon in your avatar?

yeah it's really a show for the best in POPULAR music alone. so in other words it shouldn't really be taken seriously.

mmm good guess, Grace Perry is amazing. but no it's Lzzy Hale from Halestorm. best female rock n roll vocalist i've heard in a looooooong time.

Where's BTBAM they deserve a grammy.

no they don't. they don't deserve to be included in a group with this crap.

This is a really bad list...but it's nice to see Brian Eno up here. I don't think they should put the same artists in multiple groups...Beyonce might as well dominate all of this. Would be great to see Kanye on here and then have Taylor interrupt him though.

MGMT is a new artist? confused.....this is just such a dumb list.

im bummed converge didnt make the cut

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

im bummed converge didnt make the cut

^yeah the only nominate popular bands. Converge is popular in metalcore, but not like those bands.

gaaaaayyyyyyyy

pretty much

schneeeeeeerp

This list is pretty damn awful.

in the words of Flavor Flav:

"WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A GOD DAMN GRAMMY!"

Category 77

Best Spoken Word Album For Children
(For albums consisting of predominantly spoken word vs. music or song.)

Scat
Ed Asner
[Random House Audio/Listening Library]

A spoken word album for kids about scat? awesome

Fuck the grammys indeed, the only good bands on the entire list is Pearl Jam, Ministry, and Alice in Chains

Wow... I've never payed much attention to the grammy awards but found it curious that Nickelback had been nominated for so many of them. Most of the bands on this list are garbage.

dear god

It's like Twilight winning the MTV movie awards all over again...

God I hate mainstream sh!t like this. Why do we live in a world where you can get 5 awards for P-P-P-P-P-PAH-POKAH FAAACEE-P-P-POKAH FAAAAHSS

fucking garbage.

how is this music news

i knew there was a reason i didn't respect the grammys. thanks for reminding me why!

Wtf is the difference between best album and best record..?

shit

fuck this list

Homer: Oh why wont anyone give me an award?
Lisa: You won a Grammy.
Homer: I mean an award thats worth something.
[announcement: Mr. Simpson's opinions do not reflect those of the producers, who don't consider the Grammy an award at all.]

Best album is what it sounds like, best record is a song where the award is attributed the artist/producer/engineer/etc, as opposed to best song where the award is attributed to the song writer

this list is :|

Really hope Check My Brain wins best metal.

In all seriousness, I Gotta Feeling might be the worst song I've heard this year

Okay I expected all this other bullshit from the Grammys, but how the hell is kid cudi man on the moon not up for best rap album but relapse is?

I'm a DMB fan and even I know Big Whiskey doesn't deserve album of the year, or even be one of the nominations.

lol @ the list

Guess this is why I've never watched a Grammy event

gross list

I hope nobody takes the grammy list seriously, everything on the list sucks ass.

Hey, the best metal performance isn't complete shit this year:

•Dissident Aggressor
Judas Priest
Track from: A Touch Of Evil — Live
[Epic]


•Set To Fail
Lamb Of God
Track from: Wrath
[Epic]


•Head Crusher
Megadeth
Track from: Endgame
[Roadrunner Records]


•Señor Peligro
Ministry
Track from: Adios...
[13th Planet]


•Hate Worldwide
Slayer
[American / Columbia

Slayer's crap, LoG was pretty decent, Judas Priest is...Judas Priest. Headcrusher is pwnage, and so is Sr. Peligro. Megadeth and Ministry have my votes here, but best hard rock is ridiculously bad. Only good song there is Check My Brains.

Wtf is the difference between best album and best record..?

For recordings released during the Eligibility Year
October 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009

But wait, Death Magnetic was released on September 12, 2008, which is before October 1, 2008. And wikipedia does not have Unforgiven III listed as a single. How does this record even fit into the "Eligibility Year"?

don't even try to understand the way the Grammys define a "year."

for my thoughts on the grammys, check out this rant I wrote for a website for last year's grammys....

[a]http://klap4music.com/?p=105[/a]

yea if head crusher doesnt win then wtf

I haven't expected that much of an interest in this crappy awards on this site. Dave Matthews Band is probably the only decent choice of them in my book. They didn't even nominate Mastodon.

In all seriousness, I Gotta Feeling might be the worst song I've heard this year

I was talking to the owner of a studio I intern at about how the grammys kind of suck. He's a member of the Academy and agrees completely.

yea its really fuckin bad..and yet almost every1 loved it wtf man

The pop radio station we get in my town played that same song at about 7:05 a.m. every day for about two weeks when it first came out, making it the first song I heard every morning.

Fuck that group, fuck the people that buy their music, and fuck the Grammy committee for deeming them as listenable "music."

Get up earlier dude.

There are millions of people in this country... and things like this confirm 99% of them are retarded.

Quote:There are millions of people in this country... and things like this confirm 99% of them are retarded..............Haha Pretty much

Typical Sputnik reaction... though, I totally agree with everyone on how much this list sucks.

this is pretty disgusting

"I think it's funny, all of the strange categories you start seeing at the end of the list. I'm really paying close attention to the "Best Spoken Word Album for Children" category this year. Should be a real nailbiter."

Rofl'd at this

"Category 88
Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package"

who comes up these?
and O' Brain will win producer of the year

Thats a pretty big one actually, good musicians win that one constantly.

fuck the grammys...I am so ashamed that our generation is going to be represented by this horseshit

im sorry but Silversun Pickups HAS to win

I really hope they do too, but NEW artist? They've already been around for nearly three years. When they do discover somewhat decent bands they still manage to fuck up

The grammies are about as good at fact checking as Sarah Palin's ghost writer. Go figure.
