Grammys!??!?

FIELD 5 - ALTERNATIVE

Category 22 - Best Alternative Music Album
(Vocal or Instrumental.)

* Funeral
The Arcade Fire
[Merge Records]

* Guero
Beck
[Interscope Records]

* Plans
Death Cab For Cutie
[Atlantic Records]

* You Could Have It So Much Better
Franz Ferdinand
[Domino]

* Get Behind Me Satan
The White Stripes
[Third Man/V2 Records]


Don't you mean, "Best Less Popular Album" or something? This stuff is alterative? Hmmm... Plans isn't very alternative, I don't think. Nah. (Oh yeah, and somehow Franz Ferdinand is considered in the "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal"... so they're alternative when it comes to the album, but Rock in this one song!???!?! [Note: This is not to imply that I thought You Could Have... is best Rock album material, I'm just rambling here.])

Category 21 - Best Rock Album
(Vocal or Instrumental. Includes Hard Rock and Metal.)

* X&Y
Coldplay
[Capitol Records]

* In Your Honor
Foo Fighters
[RCA Records]

* A Bigger Bang
The Rolling Stones
[Virgin Records]

* How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
U2
[Interscope Records]

* Prairie Wind
Neil Young
[Reprise Records]

You were right, B, U2 was considered this year as well. They won 3 grammys last year for stuff from How to..., and now they win 5 more grammys for it. 8 for one album!? Insane.

NO WAY. "Beverly Hills" was nominated for Best Rock Song????!!?!?!?!??

Also, Kelly Clarkson beats out Paul McCartney Best Pop Vocal Album (can't judge here-- haven't heard either of them).

That's all I've got for now. The Grammy Site hasn't highlighted all of the winners yet...
