For the full list of nominees....NOTE: I will ignore the existence of Kanye West and Mariah Carey and others in that mold when making comments. Feel free to skim, as long as you don't ignore the important part(s) in bold.
- Of course, Green Day is on the record of the year list, and U2 is on the album of the year list. The alternatives for rock fans to support are, of course, Gorillaz and Paul McCartney, respectively. GO U2!!!!
- On song of the year, it's Bruce Springsteen's "Devils and Dust" or U2's "Sometimes you can't make it on your own"
- Fall Out Boy and Keane are listed under best new artist....Fall Out Boy has now proved that a diverse screaming 12-year-old girl (or younger, i.e. my 9-year-old sister) to grungy 21-year-old guy (or older) fanbase does get you somewhere... hmm...
- The Best Male Pop Vocal Performance is def one of my favorite lists, with JACK JOHNSON!, Paul McCartney, Seal, Rob Thomas, and Stevie Wonder...all respectable souls
- Did I mention that I hope the Killers are fuming right now? They got listed under pop performance by group or duo! though with Maroon 5 and the White Stripes (and the Black Eyed Peas and Los Lonely Boys, if that's your thing)
- All the best solo rock performance nomination went to old guys. typical. not that they're not worth admiring...
- The best rock performance by group with vocal nominees list is pretty obvious; Speed of Sound, Best of You, Do You Want To, All These Things That I've Done, and Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own..... like I said
- The Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album Categories are worth noting, because it's Coldplay vs. U2, the imitator vs. the imitated. Also in the Best Rock Song category: Bruce Springsteen, Weezer (go WEEZER!!!), and Foo Fighters. Also in the Best Rock Album Category: Foo Fighters (again), The Rolling Stones (at least one Wooden ex will be happy), and Neil Young. Essentially the same people, just a Neil Young and Weezer switch-up.
- NOW.......THE ONLY CATEGORY THAT REALLY MATTERS.......ALTERNATIVE!!!! IT'S ARCADE FIRE'S FUNERAL, BECK'S GUERO, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE'S PLANS, FRANZ FERDINAND'S YOU COULD HAVE IT SO MUCH BETTER, and THE WHITE STRIPES' GET BEHIND ME SATAN!!!!
Mariah Carey gets A LOT of nominations.....
a tribute to John Lennon.....
also, the recent Bob Dylan and Ramones bios got on the long video list.....
Give TGH a thumbs up!
