Best Rock Song at the Grammy's? Really? It was good, but you're telling me there aren't more deserving Rock Bands this year? I love the Stones...Black Sabbath...and what about Gary Clark Jr.? Rock Song?

Grammys are a fake. Industry suits celebrating themselves. Daft Punk is the best album of the year? Gimme an effing break. That said, I think that McCartney/Nirvana song is great and certainly a deserving winner. Better than another JayZ/Whatever cookie cutter, MP3 optimized crap. Wow, you got me all worked up, must take a deep breath... There, that's better  |

Rock Song? I'm with you. I just checked it out this morning. Black Sabbath got the Best Metal Performance? Who doesn't love some Sabbath, but this is 2014. Best Rock Album...Zep? Is this the twilight zone? |

Most Grammy voters just go down the list and see Metal and go - hmm...I know who Black Sabbath is...check...That's kind of the same reason Country artists that aren't even on the radio are up for awards - "Dolly Parton - ah! She's country..." Although, when some of that shit wins Grammy's, I'm going to just quit. That Kacey Musgraves record deserved to win - it was good.

Jesus. This is even worse seeing the nominees...David Bowie for best Rock Album. Glad to see that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis got some wins. Their album was really good. I thought the other Rap Albums were a bit of a let down. More hype than they deserved.

Heard that Paul McCarnety/Dave Grohl collab referred to as "Sirvana". Fucking lol.
So many better albums out this year than awarded. Every bodies been going fucking ape for Yeezus and it's a great record (even if that music video as a PR disaster). Beyonce's new record is good and a total sleeper. Nine Inch Nails had a solid record. Deerhoof
As for Macklemore (And his insincere leftist platitudes)and Daft Punk? Didn't get either. Get Lucky was a badly mixed tune with stupid lyrics and song writing that I really feel belittled everyone involved. Pharrel, Chic and Daft Punk are all more capable of greater things on their own. It was raw repetition that pushed that tune onto the masses and in regards to the whole project: it's probably the only album by any of those 3 that only had 1 single.
Robin Thicke got robbed and even Muse deserved more credit for finally abandoning ship on the political pretenses and doing what they do - bombastic 70's rock revival. Skyfall getting an award for Adele's contribution is slapstick - might as well give The Hobbit II the award for Ed Sheeran's stupid song. Best actual score (Not a "lah lah lah" blaring at the credits) was Gravity, to me. Really artfully done, the foley and the music interwove beautifully and at times were indistinguishable.
I never like these awards things, but this one this year looks like a bunch of retirees trying to relive their golden years. And while I'll rip on Kanye as a human - he had the best rap album of 2013, and I don't see how you could deny it.

Grohl won against Dream Theater last year. It's all rigged, always has been.
