What is pretentious about taking no notice of this whatsoever? Surely we don't need a faceless award ceremony to suggest music that most of us abhor?

I'm not going to bother bolding who I think should win because I don't think most of those artists should win or even be included. |
Quote:
I saw the very beginning just now - I can't believe that Elton John performed with Lady Gaga. I mean, has he really stooped down to that level? |
I'd like to participate for fun but I only REALLY know Dave Matthews Band's music. At least I used to anyway.. they bring back good memories. I'm not familiar with much of anyone else.
|
I hope MGMT, and DMB pull it out.
|
Black Eyed Peas just performed...
That's more than I can take. Good night, Grammy's. |
DMB lost. That's the only category I was interested in.. oh well.
|
Quote:
Feel free to tell me how breakfast goes. |
I hate that Forever ft. Drake, Kayne West, Lil Wayne and Eminem wasn't nominated. I'd like to see Relapse win, but I doubt it will.
I'm also pissed off that the Zac Brown Band won best new artist. It's the same Nashville style crap they've been shelling out since the late 90s. |
That performance by Jamie Fox and T-Pain (or whatever his name is) was absolutely horrible...
|
Quote:
|
Although in hindsight, Beyonce's performance with the riot police and the Alanis Morrissette cover was totally awesome. Girl can sing, that's for sure!
|
Taylor Swift? Blech. Although I knew DMB wouldn't win so it was a lose lose anyway.. but still.
|
Any ceremony where Beyonce's "Single Ladies" can win anything other than the biggest pile i've ever had the misfortune of hearing (slight exaggeration ill admit) isn't something i'll ever be interested in.
|
I predicted the entire program would be a festering pile of dog shit.
...and it was. |
Shocking that they gave out about 5000 Lifetime Achievement awards.
The music industry is comprised of such self-important douchebags. |
Quote:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Please don't tell me they won. |
Quote:
A Nashville band. |
It's impossible to be worse than the Ting Tings
|
^ Truth.
|
The Ting Ting's are awesome... They're a household name by any means!
Please pick up on the sarcasm... |

Unfortunetly I have heard of the winners - The Zac Brown Band. I love country music. I hate boring, cringe-worthy Nashville music and beyond stupid-ass Southerners I don't see the appeal... and I certainly don't see how they stand out in a genre which, and I'm not just being ignorant here, really does sound the same band after awful band. |

The *only* good thing to come out of this years Grammys is Chick Corea,Stanley Clarke,Lenny White, Frank Gambale and Jean Luc-Ponty wining 2 Grammys on their album "Forever" " "Forever" just won 2 Grammy Awards! Best Improvised Jazz Solo for Chick ("500 Miles High") and Best Jazz Instrumental Album for Corea, Clarke & White! Here's Chick and Stanley just before the announcement ..." You didn't mention the nominees/predictions for this category, though, FaSho, but this was the only positive thing this year. |
this cracks me up: Who is Bon Iver. I don't particularly care for Bon Iver but come on, how can anyone,let alone tons of people not know of them at this point?
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz...xwe7o1_500.png |
To be honest, I know of them but I have not knowingly ever heard anything by them...
So I tried to give my opinions on that list you posted, FaSho, but I realised having started at the bottom and then realised I should be going from the top and then subsequently realised that I had heard maybe five of the songs listed in the entire thing more than once and one of the albums that I really didn't have enough information to be commenting on anything whatsoever. If anyone wants to read my pointless ramblings before I got bored and stopped, they're in the spoiler :P Spoiler for Ramblings Ahoy!:
|
I've seen Bon Iver been thrown about here in conversations. Couldn't tell you what kind of music it is, or if he/she is a band/solo artist and I'm certainly not stupid.
|
Bon Iver - For Emma Bon Iver - Skinny Love Being at work currently (and on the phone) I can't listen to them, but if they suck or are something else, those titles are where you should start. Its better music for driving home after work when you're burned out. So if you're pumped up right now you may want to skip these. |
Thanks Brennan, luckily I'm shattered after staff training so I'll probably enjoy them :). Cheers!
|
I was really pleased to see Justin Vernon win, and I thought he made a lot of valid points in his speech.
It's always a bit strange to see artists like Bon Iver and Arcade Fire get public recognition for albums like Bon Iver and The Suburbs, when their best albums--modern CLASSIC albums--have been made years before. It's like mainstream music lives in a different universe. |
Was that black and yellow song up for a grammy? ****ing hell. That was one radio song I just could not listen to.
