Better than I expected, but still missing a lot

[Frownland]

You know that the people who run the grammys are out of touch when they consider Gotye's "Making Mirrors" an alternative album.

[TraceNspace]

Better than I expected, but still missing a lot

My thoughts exactly..

[Jerome]

And no James Otto Sweetheart!!! Oh dratty pooh......

[CRAZY-HORSE]

i would have thought Bob Dylan would have got a nomination for his superb "tempest" album.

[Music Head]

major surprise to me that Carly Rae didn't get a best new artist nod

[CRAZY-HORSE]

got a feeling this could be the year of Black Keys with their superb El Camino album

also think Springsteen will take out his nomination

oh yeh...where are One Direction LMAO

[SteveO]

I really like the song We are Young from the band Fun ! Too bad I Will Wait song - Mumfords isn't mentioned ! and what can I say about Gotye's Making Mirrors !!!!!!...IMHO ...cream of the crop !


and no mention whatsoever of the Avett Brothers - The Carpenter album...that's a shame !

[Music Head]

I really like the song We are Young from the band Fun ! ...

me too and I love the follow up, Some Nights.
