Just to put this horrid and utterly putrid mess of an award in perspective here is Album of they year winners and nominees over the years. Ya gotta scroll down to 1979 for the Stones only nomination of Some Girls.

I'm of the opinion Today's music is garbage! maybe I'm old but I just watched a bit of it & switched channels, what's this Lady Ga Ga crap, did she get her name from Queen's Radio Ga Ga, Elton John did a duet with her, he's a old Queen himself, The Black Eyed Peas are the worst garbage I ever heard, what in God's name kind of crap is that? & Green Day winning for best Rock album, ask John Lydon what he thinks of Green Day, punk has gone mainstream with a orchestra.
The Only Rock & Roll legend was Alice Cooper on the show, AC/DC should have won best rock album, not Green day.

I managed to make it through.....worth it, for me, to see Jeff Beck's tribute to Les Paul.

Boy, they sure don't make music like they used to.... Roll Eyes Puke all over me (wait that is BLEED)

Doesnt help that there was no 'rock' category from about 1966-79, ie during the Stones' peak period.

Didnt they win an award for Voodoo Lounge, though?

One consolation is that no real instruments are harmed in the making of most of that music...

Having said that, Pink's performance of 'Glitter In The Air' was tremendous.

BTW, AC/DC did win for "Best Hard Rock Performance".

I actually enjoyed many of the performances ESPCIALLY Lady Gaga. She's a little "out there" but, AHEM, so was Mick back
in the day!!! Her talent cannot be denied; and neither can Pink's!! Even Beyonce impressed me. I'd see all three of these women in concert if I had the chance.

Green Day, Jeff Beck and, believe it or not, Zac Brown Band with Leon Russell were also good.

Channel surfed quite a bit but can't dismiss the entire thing.
Nice to see lip synching was BANNED.

From Wiki:

In early 1995, while the Voodoo Lounge Tour was still in full force (not finishing until August that year) Voodoo Lounge won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.

Consequently, Voodoo Lounge would be the first Rolling Stones album to not produce significant hits in America. In the UK, meanwhile, "Love Is Strong", "You Got Me Rocking", "Out Of Tears", and "I Go Wild" were all top 40 chart hits.

I caught a little bit of the Grammys.  I saw La Gaga with & without EJ, she was better without.   Didn's see KOL win 2 Grammy, but am very glad they did.  I've been following them since the beginning.

Saw Pink's performance this am...it had a "Cirque de Soleil" vibe to it.

Saw Jeff Beck in the audience...

Dunno about that, LJ.

The woman singing with Jeff Beck was clearly lip synching, and that annoying auto tune stuff was used, too.
Jamie Foxx sounded like a robot...

Didn't see Foxx and, while Jeff Beck was good, I didn't care for the female singer.

My point is I cannot dismiss the entire show as garbage.
We are becoming too close to sounding like "these kids today......."

Nor can I.

Granted I don't listen to most of the artists that performed, but that's my choice.
One that I'm not unhappy with.

Taylor Swift is playing stadiums this summer, so somebody's buyin'...

The Jamie Foxx/T-Pain duet was garbage. I hate AutoTune (which makes them sound like robots).

I'm happy for Kings of Leon. I mean, I've liked them from their beginning (first album). Apparently they were not going to put "Use Somebody" on the album because they themselves thought it would be too mainstream.

I just hope they still play in small venues.

Hey LJ!  Flat indeed!  Ugh!  She's cute n sweet and that's all I can tell about this young gal.  For gawds sakes she cannot sing at all in my humble opinion...how did she win anything? I don't know any of these kids, yes I am OLD....and 98% of what I heard is NOT music....it just isn't music...it's atonal monotony (there is no musical range to this droning on madness so I can't call it music) i.e agony, to my ears lol...and the lyrics to some of the songs are ?????  Dull.  I can't feel any of this so called music, it does nothing to relieve my aches and pains like the real deal can in an instant.  That's how I know if it's music or not....can I FEEEEEEL it.  Or am I annoyed and agitated?  Hmmm.......

Leon Russell, Jeff Beck, and I did like his singer a lot, the blip of a tribute to Neil, all worth it for me, but I wanted Neil THERE to rock us out. 

And I am glad The Kings Of Leon won.

Pink, Beyonce, and LG need to sing actual SONGS like the blues or ANYTHING that is actually a SONG.....music, cause I agree they all can sing. 

I do not know how that guy with his pants down in back and up in the front kept those things on....while he ran all about the stage with MnM getting bleeped constantly, how friggin annoying is that, btw, I have NO clue what they were carrying on about....Yes, I am OLD.  And I am glad I didn't grow up having this madness in my ears....in fact I am saying a sincere prayer RIGHT NOW!  We had the best music EVER to grow up with.  How lucky we are!

The Grammy's are rigged.  Bob didn't win a thing for TTL, which I listen to many times everyday....and like it more each time....so he wins in my household each and everyday baby!
 
Grammy that!

xoxoxo,
Martha; Older n Wiser n very Thankful!!!!

I am 27 and I don't like any of the stuff that was presented at this award show.

All of the stuff going on at the Grammy's--that's what is popular these days. Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Gaga. I don't know...that's all fine and good. People can like what they like.
