The Complete List of Nominees

____________________

Nice to see some love for Gorillaz, Arcade Fire, Fiona, Stripes, Mos Def, Franz.....

dick_grayson

the metal category needs to be revamped.

Giles

I thought The Arcade Fire - Funeral was a 2004 release?

can we say two words: Kanye West

LCD Soundsystem should win in both the catagories they've been nominated for

Kraftwerk - "Mininum-Maxium" come on, it's a great album but it's essentially a greatest hits compliation.

The Bus

If LCD Soundsystem wins both Grammys... That would be too funny.

If Fatboy Slim wins... that would be too sad.

Rogue588

My picks. Not what I think will win, just what I would pick out of the choices available. I was going to pick what I think would win, but then I realized that I don't care.

The Antipodean

God, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, mediocre Stevie Wonder comeback, Gwen Stefani? Yeah, I can go back to not paying attention to the Grammys now.

Rogue588

It's no Innervisions, but Stevie's latest is far from mediocre.

that Kanye gets shut out. Maybe he'll leave the country..

Mondo Kane

Anyone know if Gwen's performing?

I tuned in to see her rock out at the American Music awards, but all she did was follow Pharell around on stage and burped out the chorus.

DJLinus

I hear you. I'm not a hardcore fan of the genre (pun intended), but I'd consider System of a Down "metal" and not "hard rock."

nazz

I'd like to see MCartney and Neil Young both take home awards since making relevant music this far into their careers is a major accomplishment. It's nice to see them nominated but winning would be very cool. Anyone know if either plans to perform?

Rypro 525

also, how and why the fuck is "this love" nomintated for best pop performance by a duo or group?? that song should have been nominated last year?
Also fall out boy is not a "new artist" well then again they nominated Fountains of Wayne in 2004 when they have been around since the mid 90's

Chrisedge

America Idiot was nominated last year. (Shoulda won)

Decker

Hey, I did OK with some of my guesses in my Guess The Nominees thread last month. I even called the curtain call for Green Day in the RoY category. Didn't see the Mariah express coming, though. Also didn't think the Recording Academy would feel like honoring a song whose chorus goes "This shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S", but guess I was wrong.
for Paul McCartney. It must feel good to be recognised for putting out quality music long after everyone had given up on you. Too bad there wasn't room for The Stones as well.
I must be an old fogey now. Keane is the only artist in the new Artist category I've ever heard of.
And just a quick . I loved Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine. It's my Album Of The Year pick. But it's ineligiable per the Grammy rules :
For recordings released during the Eligibility Year October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005 Fiona's album was released on October 4, 2005

cerulean

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Franz Ferdinand's album was also released the same day.

Yet another example of that wiggy Grammy logic. How big is this committee that picks the nominees?

The Infidel

They need to stop rewarding people for making crap music and calling themselves "artists", which would hopefully give them some incentive to actually create something even closely resembling a good song/album. The percentage of good music is getting smaller every year, just as the ease to entertain the growing mass of mindless, musically-uneducated idiots itself grows larger.

Until they can start rewarding the unknown artists making good music out there in the trenches, and stop being a plain and simple popularity contest, the Grammys can go fuck themselves.

[/rant]

Rypro 525

also odd to think that they nominated a song that went "go, so fucking determined, yeah yeah, go you better believe it, con fu dence, go so fucking determined..."

conscience

This is why I can't stand that guy. He thinks awards are what makes an artist. I don't know how many times I have read an article about him wanting an award because he thinks he and his music are the second coming.

Yeah, sure.


----------------

Rascall Flatts getting any major recognition is bad. They take a great song (Broken Road) redo it (with that lead's horrible chalkboard scratching vocals) and call it their own.

----------------

Too much Mariah love. Anyone can go crazy, come back with clothes that fit horribly on them (making them look 50 lbs larger), and screetch out some vocals.

tommy28

Paul McCartney album of the year.

lol.....

cungar

Have you heard the album?

maxfisher

There are a handful of artists nominated who I actually like somewhat, but overall, if everyone on that entire list was banned from ever making music again, the only ones I'd really, really miss are Arcade Fire. Speaking of which, I was about to bash the Academy for getting their name wrong (there's no The), but then I happened to notice that Merge has it incorrect as well. You'd think at least their record label would get it right...

Decker

Can't find that info anywhere. Remember the blue-ribbon panel is only for the four biggies (AotY, RotY, SotY, New Artist). That's why you might see a AoY nominee not nominated in it's respective category (like Rock AotY). Anyway, one article I did find suggested that the panel may be obsolete now since there are a lot more young members and R & B and Hip Hop are much more well represented than they were a decade ago when this solution was established after a particularly awful batch of AotY nominees (1995 when Tony Bennett MTV Unplugged beat Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Seal and ugh, The Three Tenors).

tommy28

yes,have you.
