U2Man
ONE love, blood, life
I might have missed something here, but do we by now know which of these artists are performing at the grammies? (That is usually a good hint).

Tallarico said:.I think west is the real favourite because the academy COULD give the grammy for best album to hip hop (an hip hop with fascion...not the 50 cent hip hop ) for the first time.

I think that would be quite interesting.

Earnie Shavers said:Album of the Year is a good place to start, and I thought it would be that low. I bet if you added all the minor categories, the maximum amount of Grammy Winners on that list would be about 25. Nominees would be different, but the Grammy's are probably more famous for their stunning overlooks than their actual winners.
Earnie Shavers said:Of course, but that is a pretty good list there. It would be very hard to argue that too many of those albums don't deserve to be there. These magazines and various websites seem to be pulling the Top 100/50/500 every other month now. I'd bet that you could pull up a hundred varying lists and still get a similar result.
Unless of course it's the Top 100 Grammy Winning Albums of All Time
Sting said:Sting2? Interesting.
STING2 said:
Its still just the opinion of those magazines and various websites. Its true there are a lot of good albums in there, but many would say they deserve to be in the top 500, but not in the top 100, while there are several dozen albums that should be there but are not.
Sting said:Sting2? Interesting.
STING2 said:
I used to be "Sting" when I first registered here in August of 2000, although it was STING all in caps. But one day in September 2001 I tried logging in and it told me that STING did not exist. I contacted the website and they said it had disappeared. When I tried to re-register as STING, It told me it was taken. So, STING2 was born.

I'm not sure if that answers my question or just makes things more odd.
Axver said:
Even more interesting is that he's had his account over four years longer than yours. I'd assumed he'd chosen Sting2 because Sting was taken, but if you could claim it in 2005, that makes me ask: why the 2, Sting2?
Earnie Shavers said:
Of course. No-one suggested otherwise. NONE of these lists can ever be definitive, and especially not against your own opinions. I don't think those are the 100 greatest albums of all time, but I do think they are 100 OF the greatest albums of all time.
Some of the lists are probably more worthwhile than others, based upon the size of the judging, at least as a guide to the 100 most popular albums of all time, but overall, you are correct. Maybe find that big big Top 500 one, was it Rolling Stone? I still contend that no matter what list you pull up, Grammy Winners will only be a small %.
Sting said:
Yes it makes you wonder what happened to STING... the original... perhaps Internet Warp Demons? Yes. That must be it.
Axver said:
Maybe you are the younger version of STING2, zapped to the future.
Inner El Guapo said:How apathetic will the audience be?
The 2005 Grammy's had the lowest TV ratings in 10 years.
That with a pretty good telecast with pretty 'name' artists and pretty good performances.
I just don't think that many people give a shit anymore and a lot of people haven't given a shit in a long time. The MTV Awards are a pop culture extravaganza, not abotu music, the Grammy's are about the industry more than the music itself.
I find it hard to give two shits about it and I almost hope U2 loses so they will stop caring about them.
