I predicted that one. U2 got screwed again. First Achtung Baby, now ATYCLB. I mean a blue grass album??????? I think I would have preferred almost any other album win over that. The Academy is full of shit once again. How many of you bought the Steely Dan album last year?? Yeah, they really have a clue.
 
That was complete BS. My mom and sister were like "WTF". And I was in shock. Did you see Bono was the first to stand up and clap? That was nice. But that's just B.S. I guess the grammys like controversey...they can fuck off!
 
Now I have a bad feeling about the two remaining awards. Album of the year was the only category I had any real confidence.
 
It was a compilation for crying out loud!!!

Sorry, but to me that falls into a Metallica vs. Jethro Tull type "robbed".
 
It's also country and it's been awhile since country won, they have to kiss the butts of all genres and a rock one won last year. I still think this sucks though. BS! U2 was better.
 
My apologies to those who like that soundtrack, but I have heard parts of it, and I hated it.

Dylan and U2 split the voting allowing the soundtrack to win.

"O Brother..." was the best nominee in that category...following ATYLCB, Love and Theft, and Stankonia.

First time in a WHILE a soundtrack has won album of the year, and it is a very, VERY good album.

It's NOT All That You Can't Leave Behind, but it's not a bullshit call.

It is BS. Basically, it's saying don't be original - go remake some old songs and you'll get an award. I would have rather seen OutKast or Dylan win than that soundtrack.
 
Again, the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou? is a VERY GOOD ALBUM. U2 did indeed get robbed (especially given its post-9/11 poignancy), but this isn't a crime like, say, TRAIN winning.

On other notes...

* I couldn't understand a single word Vincent Price sung.

* Mary J. Blige has problems.

I agree. Pure B.S. Remaking old songs, what the hell.

I had the same feeling. I assumed (bad thing to do) that they would totally get album of the year. And I figure(d) Alicia Keys would get song and record. But no, I will change my assumptions and have some faith in U2

Yes it is, and I'll tell you why.

It has nothing to do with what you or I or anyone else here likes the most. Obviously that's going to be U2.

No, it's a bullshit call because U2 had THREE songs from the same album nominated in the two most prestigous song categories over the last two years, and a fourth song nominated in it's genre category. No one else has that this year, and I'd feel pretty confident saying that's never happened at all before.

Three songs up for Song/Record and not the Album of the Year? Bullshit.

Sorry to say this but I think U2 is finished for the night.

U2 were with out a doubt ripped off.

What can you say. The Grammy's do this every year.

Everyone said U2 had it in the bag and the Grammy's just won't pick the favorite even if it was the best album of the year.
 
Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sucks........
