Lmfao at Chance being a "new artist"

Of course Bowie was snubbed of any major nominations

Nick Cave got snubbed so hard too wtf

lmao metallica is going to win fucking obviously haha the grammys are retarded

I always go into this with expectations that it will be awful and they still always manage to be worse than imagined.

Work for Record of the Year? You've got to be kidding me

Best New Artist

The Chainsmokers

Like wtf

Oh wow Grammy noms being trash. What else is new?

Lol

"Oh wow Grammy noms being trash. What else is new? "

It isn't so much them being trash as them somehow finding ways to reach new lows each year when I believe I've seen the worst

disgusting

how did periphery get on here?

I thought for sure Blackstar would get a nom for Best Album

"Lmfao at Chance being a "new artist""

You know this is nothing new for the Grammys, right? Bon Iver won the award in 2012, James Blake and Kendrick Lamar were nominated in '14 .

"Best Metal Performance:

"Shock Me" — Baroness
"Slivera" — Gojira
"Rotting in Vain" — Korn
"Dystopia" — Megadeth
"The Price Is Wrong" — Periphery"

Wat

"The Price Is Wrong" — Periphery"

Out of all the Periphery songs they could have nominated for a grammy over the years, they pick the worst song off their worst album.

"Slivera"

Okay hit me Snide, best metal performance of the year. Gimme your top 5 pix

The alternative noms are of such a higher quality than the rock ones it's ridic

lol

Yeah lol Destroyer 666 or Darkthrone would have been more dignified picks

no Ulcerate in best metal performace, Grammys are illegit

I like that they managed to pick one of the least "rock" songs off of Blackstar for best rock performance

I'm really surprised Frank Ocean isn't in it

Blackstar isn't even rock or alternative, it's like jazz fusion and shit

Worst nominations in a while...

Yeah since at least last year

the fact that Frank Ocean didn't make the cut is like the only thing it has going for it but they undid that by nominating TLOP

Apparently a Jack White feature qualifies Beyonce for the "Best Rock Song" of the year after she gets nominations for fucking everything else.

I'm sorry but I really hate Beyonce a lot

Sturgill Simpson's new album is popular enough to be nominated for album of the year?

Odd I thought he was like Pitchforkcore

"Gotta give credit where credit is due congrats Periphery. "

I laughed

let's just replace the metal noms with songs from these bands' albums:

vektor
ulcerate
dillinger (because rip)
moonsorrow
Oranssi Pazuzu

"Album Of The Year:

25 — Adele
Lemonade — Beyoncé
Purpose — Justin Bieber
Views — Drake
A Sailor's Guide To Earth — Sturgill Simpson"





You gotta be fucking kidding me

I forgot Adele was even a thing

Dude. STURGILL SIMPSON! That is the most out of place name in accordance to that list of noms.

Meh, I'll be solely interested in their pick for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album obviously

ADELE IMA LET YOU FINISH BUT BEYONCE HAD THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME

"Odd I thought he was like Pitchforkcore"

Ummm no not at all.

I mean they gave the album a good score but he's definitely not Pitchforkcore

But yeah popularity wise it is shocking he got the nomination

who is Adele

Aren't 3 of the album of the year nominations from 2015?

2 are. The Grammy's cycle is roughly from October of the previous year to September of the current year, if I recall correctly.

That really bugs me. A system where February 2017 awards can be given to albums from October 2015 shouldn't exist., especially on this scale.

god i fucking hate the grammys.

Sturgill Simpson needs to pull an Arcade Fire to redeem the Grammys

The key thing with shite and irrelevant awards ceremonies like this is to completely ignore them.
Don't react to them, don't tweet about them, don't talk about them and of course don't watch them
Then they might go away

That said if 21 pilots win best rock song I might jump off a building

I think at this point this year, it's irredeemable lol

Guess I'm starting to become and old man early because I don't know who half of these even are.

It can't be that bad -

CTRL + F "Chainsmokers"

"Found 1 of 8"

- oh.

No one gonna mention that Gojira is nominated for best rock album?

I feel like the grammys are broken in some way? Like how do they qualify their artists it just gets progressively worse and worse every year

"... with last year's Best New Artist winner Meghan Trainor."

I stopped reading.

"Sturgill Simpson needs to pull an Arcade Fire to redeem the Grammys" [2]

Why are Twenty One Pilots considered rock I don't understand how that happened.

Sturgill Simpson should win the that lineup but I'm sure he won't.

No matter what they say his album is the AOTY

Best Rock Album:
California — Blink-182

jesus fuck

The only thing that could make this watchable is to arbitrarily nominate Father John Misty for an award even though he isn't eligible so he can sit there and look sad and unimpressed when a bunch of shit cunts win like he did at the BRITs

That's the thing - for everything the Grammys get right there's a hundred that they fuck up

fuck the grammys though, I'm waiting on news about the Christopher Geriak year end list when's that coming out?

well...that's about what I expected. Why are the grammys still a thing again?

Grammy's be decision makers are so face palm

I really just want Periphery to win for their worst song off of (arguably) their worst album. It would just be a great surprise for anyone who googles "Periphery" afterwards and finds their few good tracks.

It's not really worth giving any though to the Grammy Awards.

I definitely won't discount that. The level these sort of things stoop to is just plain sad. Hence why I try to just keep them out of my mind.

It's just such a stab in the back how there was this huge (half-assed) Bowie tribute in the last Grammy ceremony and all Bowie gets in these nominations is a sort of participation ribbon

Wasn't the biggest fan of his new album, but given the overall reception it's baffling how he got snubbed. Especially considering these events take popularity into account above a lot of other aspects and Bowie isn't just some unknown.

@Toad Trust me, I'd love to launch my complaints about this shit--I've done so in the past without fail--but so long as the masses eat this crap up there's not much that can be done.

At least the Sturgill Simpson album is worth something.

geriak [7]

yooooo go sturgill hahaha

so random but that albums unreal

I see the Grammys have jumped on the Beyonce fan cub. Seriously, what is everybody's obsession with her lately? Its completely unjustified if you ask me. Serriously, they have her nominated for the "Rock performance of the year" award. What kind of shit is that?

I also laughed pretty hard when I saw 25 as a nomination for album of the year. That pretty much proves that being critically acclaimed in music doesn't mean shit.
After I got done laughing, I saw that Justin Bieber's newest album was nominated for a Grammy and I wanted to cry.

syro won a grammy, but richard didn't even show up to accept it lol

grammy awards are fucking tragic

do real music enthusiasts even bother with this elite pampering shit ?

what a fucking joke, this is just tragic

let the elites stroke each other's cocks

Loved how Kendrick tried to ruin the party last time, that shit was classic

Grammy sucks.

I actually expected Untitled Unmastered was going to get more recognition. And it's still bullshit Nick Cave got snubbed

Not surprising.

Yeah surprised that TPAB got like 9237291937 nominations last year but uu didnt even get one this year.

Baroness deserves Metal Hammer song of the year but they won't get it.

Lol, no wonder some people think all new music is bad.

"do real music enthusiasts even bother with this elite pampering shit ?"

I think more do than you think. They want to see great artists get awarded for their music.

I'm really shocked to see Periphery and Gojira nominated at all, but the shock goes away a little after they pick Periphery's worst fucking song. Now that's the Grammy's I know!

Also how in the flying fuck is Beyoncé anything close to fucking rock. Typical bullshit I'll complain about every year/

the metal nominees are actually not as bad as normal.

"It would just be a great surprise for anyone who googles 'Periphery' afterwards and finds their few good tracks."

That would be surprising.

and i know it doesn't mean shit but periphery have come quite a long way. kinda cool i suppose.

LOL. LOL. LOL.

Hope Sturgill wins AOTY. Would be great victory for music that isn't completely boring.

Maren Morris for New artist oty

I'm surprised Gojira got nominated twice for their worst album.

"Out of all the Periphery songs they could have nominated for a grammy over the years, they pick the worst song off their worst album."

Yeah, i'm a fan but their new album is pretty weak, and that song is pretty shit.

Boring and predictable

"Out of all the Periphery songs they could have nominated for a grammy over the years, they pick the worst song off their worst album."

Yeah, i'm a fan but their new album is pretty weak, and that song is pretty shit. [2]

but, but, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLEESSSSS

Don't Hurt Yourself is a rock song tho and Bieber's newest album is meh at worst

Also I wouldn't be surprised if Nick Cave was too late in the year to be nominated

The alternative nominations are legit

just kidding, nick cave released his album 21 days before the grammy eligibility period ended

frank ocean didn't submit blonde for consideration because he's tired of their shit too.

no radiohead or blackstar is really really bad.

but.... both of them are on there tho

Lol.
