And can someone tell me who Taylor Swift is? I've seen her on roflrazzi a couple of times but I've never heard a single tune of her here!
You're missing absolutely nothing whatsoever.

You guys are still comparing Achtung Baby and NLOTH? Achtung Baby was actually nominated for a major award. I hardly call that "being ignored" by the Academy.
the Grammies were on last night?
Its curious ...wonder why U2 didn't even show up at the Grammy's ...
- Did they know they weren't going to win?
- Keeping a low profile after last year's performance?
- Other obligations?
I thought maybe Edge would go or something "incase..." but I am sure in their hearts they knew they weren't going to win.
NLOTH not being nominates for best album, losing against Greenday for best rock, Achtung Baby losing from an unplugged album, the overawarded HTDAAB (9 grammies!?!?) and ATYCLB (7 grammies...), Crazy Tonight being nominated in two categories, Crazy Tonight being nominated at all???
What does this say about the Grammy Awards and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences?
It's only a popularity contest. As the singer of Tool once said:
“I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don't honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It's the music business celebrating itself. That's basically what it's all about."
[GibsonExplorer]sounds like a bunch of excuses to me.[/GibsonExplorer]
Regarding the show;
Over the top. Seriously.
Green Day
NLOTH >>>>>>>>>>>>> 21st Century Breakdown
It shows you how ridiculous the Grammys were this year that Crazy Tonight got nominated and Magnificent and Moment of Surrender did not.
That's very well said.NLOTH not being nominates for best album, losing against Greenday for best rock, Achtung Baby losing from an unplugged album, the overawarded HTDAAB (9 grammies!?!?) and ATYCLB (7 grammies...), Crazy Tonight being nominated in two categories, Crazy Tonight being nominated at all???

well, crazy tonight is better than magnificent and moment of surrender.
why do i say this? 'cause music is objective, and that's how i feel, and that's how enough people felt to nominate it. doesn't make it true in your eyes, just makes it what it is.
i still think it's funny that the Silversun Pickups were nominated for "Best New Artist".
Yeah, it's a repeat of the past. Ah well, these two albums don't really 'need' the grammy's to approve of them.
Was Kanye West there?
Really? It sounds pretty much the same as American Idiot to me, some songs are just exact clones. Same chord progressions, melody..

I blame Kanye, if he hadn't opened his mouth, Beyonce would have won.
Minus Taylor's wins and the MJ stuff, this year has been total, utter, and complete FAIL.
