the grammys ( or how to award corporate whores and averagness )
 

u2 swept the awards.....should i go on? what a joke....who votes for this shit anyways? corporate execs? oprah fans? yo mama?

they did a song w/linkin park, jay-z, and paul mccartney. leave it to the grammy's to ruin paul mccartney for me. thnx for nothin academy.

when is the last time the Grammy's actually supported and gave awards to good music. This is a non-topic, as any music fan doesn't care!!!

when i heard on the radio that U2 got those 5 awards i really was not suprised at all, some corporate award giving some mainstream overhyped band some awards who dont deserve them, basicaly just because there the only ones some middle aged business men in suits have actually heard of.

that's so true, those awards are completely insignificant and obviously given by people who know shit about music....i mean, fall out boy was nominated for best new act......nuff said....

I think U2 get some more prizes than they should especially because of Bono's involvment in so many things ... It's politics after all.

The problem is that the awards are no longer representative as quality is concerned. Happens in other places too (Oscars) ...

All we can do is just mumble for some days and keep on listening to the music that's good for us :)

As much as I hate to admiy it, I loved, uh, really liked Bruce Springsteen's performance.

And there will probably be another U2 lovefest at the Brits next week

*vomits*

They certainly did not deserve the album of the year award ( or the four other ones they received, for that matter).

Woh woh.
The..atomic bomb..crap? Won!?!
Christ, proof a band can sell on a name.

There is something or somewhere I can watch the Grammys Awards? 'cause it will not play on TV here.

yeah...theres an "academy" that votes on the nominees and the winners. personally, i hated it. it seemed like a lot of the winners were not as talented as some if not most of the other nominees for their particular award. plus i hate how its nothing but mainstream rock. not that theres anything wrong with mainstream rock, but no one else....not even those more talented are even given a chance.

Rammstein lost to Slipknot for best live metal act. Of course the Grammys are biased for only mainstream.

Wow, they picked the wrong damn people when it came to the awards.

But i would be lying if i said i didnt enjoy some of the performances....I really enjoyed the Sly & Family Stone Tribute and the new orleans tribute with Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and The Edge.

Other than that, the best bands out today were ignored completely, Mars Volta were ignored completely...And the fact Brian Wilson's Smile didnt even get nominated for best album just shows how much the grammys sucks up to the mainstream, instead of focusing on what matters, the f*cking music.

U2 won?:(

I thought theirs was a terrible album, not one song was even remotely inspirational, Vertigo was good but then that went down in flames with the amount of continuous radio play it got. A terrible album alround.

Awards piss me off. You see the thousands in the audience clapping and cheering away blindly while I'll be sitting at home wanting them all to know how far off their decisions are.

Soooooo fustrating.

As much as i love U2 i have to agree, HTDAAB is the worst thing they have ever done...I think the grammys biggest problem is, they suck the same c*cks over and over again...Yeah, you guys REALLY love Mick Jagger, Paul Mccartney, Bruce Springsteen and all those dinosaurs, but that dosent mean you have to give them a award for EVERY DAMN ALBUM THEY MAKE!!!...Give a little credit for younger musicians for gods sake, i dont think Springsteen really needs another grammy, he already has a closet full.

bono makes me sick. thus the grammies also make me sick.

Money talks, doesn't it Bono. ****.

:laughing:

What a twat.

Last I checked the radio was playing loads of piss poor 'punk' rock.
And my local station may as well be called U2 station the amount of times they play them.

Just more evidence to me this guy is a major f*ckwit.

you know what, i think U2 is getting ragged on unfairly....i mean, if the grammy people say they're the best rock band in the world, who are we to disagree?

Well I'm sure our favorite bands of today will be mentioned eventually... at least 30 or 40 years from now when WE're all senile fart Grammy judges.

What the hell were you doing watching it anyway?

i wasn't, but i couldn't escape hearing it on the news....

they are the music industry....the people that are shoving crap down our throats.

we are the people getting crap shoved down our throats.

thats who we are to disagree.

I do actually like 3 U2 songs

*hides*

3? do tell.

Sunday Bloody Sunday , Pride In The Name Of Love & New Years Day

Although I don`t make a habit of listening to them regually

me too, except for new years day....don't know that one....but the first two are classics....

Go & download it , just to piss Bono off

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

alas, that would hurt me more than it would hurt him....
