Screwtape2 said:A lot of people are saying Neon Bible so I have two questions:
1. Do you think it will take the Best Album Grammy? (not that Grammy's matter)
2. If so, do you think that would launch them into the mainstream?
1) Possible, but they may only be nominated in the Alternative Category, or someone may die with an album in the can, or someone with a long buried career may have a mediocre and overhyped comeback, or U2 may release an overblown watered down pop album, or they may finally put the last nail in their coffin and actually give 'the big one' to someone like Fergie or Stefani or Timberlake.
2) Maybe give them a nudge in that direction, certainly a short term boost, perhaps double or triple the fanbase, but overall their albums, I think, will never hit that ridiculous mass level of sales/acceptance.
