Indeed ... There are not many words for that ....

best rap song-

Crank That (Soulja Boy)
Soulja Boy Tell'Em, songwriter (Soulja Boy Tell'Em)
[Collipark/Interscope Records]

I believe that's an epic fail...

seriously, I saw about 2 bands that deserved to be on this list... and then the rest was complete crap.

well, at least Herbie Hancock is nominated. along with Neon Bible being up for best alternative album. all in all though this is as disappointing as any other Grammy year. when will anybody learn that the music that the Grammys feed us is crap, pure and simple.

Man, theres usually at least 1 or 2 categories im interested in. Not a damn one this year. Ne-Yo is seriously nominated for a grammy? Jeez.

Do I see true metal in the "best metal performance" category? Cool.

The rest makes me want to vomit.This Message Edited On 12.06.07

tool are up for the best hard rock performance!!! the rests shit tho

this is a joke right? though some stuff looks right but a lot of it is surely BAD BAD BAD.

and rather then Streetlight or Thrice have nominated for album of the year they have foo fighter and Kanye.

i think Rihanna deserves song of the year for Umbrella, the whole world loved it but not the record of the year lol

Slayer better fucking win "Best Metal Performance"...Final Six was a nasty song.

I know the Grammys always suck, but I am shocked by how bad these are.
If Crank Dat wins best rap song I'm moving to Canada.

The Grammy's = 85 pop music categories out of 107... Have any of the people heard of good bands????? Also these nominations make you think and when it comes down to it it's all **** in the end. Canada is lookin' good akira

I will laugh (in a good way) if As I Lay Dying wins over Slayer for Best Metal Performance.

If Crank Dat wins best rap song I'm moving to Canada.

you should move to Canada anywaysThis Message Edited On 12.06.07

I read the list and once again I hate my life. I swear they're getting worse every year.

Why are people surprised, its not like the Grammies are every good.

that^

I got to category 7 and just gave up
'Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace' for album of the year. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Soulja Boy? *sigh* most of this is really really awful.

fear of a blank planet getting nominated. I didnt know that they even knew who porcupine tree was. That list really sucks.. And slayer better win!!!

I can't believe king diamond is on there, shadows fall will win the metal performence cause there new stuff isn't very good

Wow, Tool was nominated for best hard rock performance. They better fucking win...and actually some of the songs in the metal category are not too bad either. The rest is shit, but i honestly didnt expect anything better anyway

I wonder what will happen when adults like the ones who pick Grammy nominations realize how truly dirty Crank Dat is.

Akira, don't bother moving here. Crank That is F**king huge here too.

But really, what were we expecting? My Humps won a Grammy!

Seriously, Shadows Fall suck now. I hate the Grammys.

Would 'In Rainbows' count as this years or next years?

Only good nominations

Best New Artist: Paramore

Best Metal Performance: Nothing Left by As I Lay Dying

Best Alternative Album: Neon Bible by The Arcade Fire

Best Recording Package: The Dio Years by Black Sabbath

Best Surround Sound Album: At War with the Mystics 5.1 by The Flaming Lips
Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine TreeThis Message Edited On 12.06.07

Gross. Although the "Best Alternative Album" is approximately 2/5ths decent. I'm rooting for the Shins, although Arcade Fire wouldn't really upset me either.

Although I stopped being upset at the Grammy's long ago. I feel so sorry for this country, lol.

Junos are shit as well.

But Feist, Beck, Tool, QOTSA, all get nods, which is cool. And umbrella definitely should get song of the year.

Go Herbie Hancock! I really want that CD, he looks like such a badass on the cover. Aside from that, the Grammys looks as depressing as I expected, especially for the rock section. But come on, it's the Grammys.

So much fail.

What is the difference between song of the year and record of the year? Isn't it the same thing?

SHOULDN'T it be the same thing?

"Best NEW Artist - Feist"?

*facepalm*
