  1. I recicled this topic in order to make it appropiate for this year's awards.



    From U2.com

    Nominations for the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards have been announced in Los Angeles tonight and U2 are in the running in three categories.

    'No Line on the Horizon' is nominated for 'Best Rock Album' - up against albums from Green Day, AC/DC, Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood and Dave Matthews Band.

    'I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight' is nominated twice: for 'Best Rock Song' (up against Green Day, Kings of Leon, Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam) and for 'Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals' (along with Coldplay, Green Day, Kings of Leon and Clapton/Winwood).

    We'll find out the winners next month. The GRAMMY Awards will be held on Jan. 31, 2010 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Check out all the nominations here.

    (2009 - old stuff) Let me first say that I am a big fan of most of Radiohead and Coldplay's music. I just feel like starting trouble tonight I guess

    For all you Radiohead fans out there that ripped the Grammy awards for the last 6 years saying they were nonsense and only sellout bands like U2 win those kind of cheesy awads, not artsy bands like our Radiohead, I am just curious if you have changed your tone now that Radiohead has been nominated for some pretty prestegious Grammys this year? Are the Grammys now revelant to you? Or are they still a bunch of crap and you could care less if In Rainbows wins album of the year? Because all I heard when U2 was winning Grammys left and right the last 6 years was how cheesy the Grammys were and how U2 winning means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I mean if shit albums like HTDAAB can win album of the year, I am sure the great In Rainbows album is a lock.

    My slight jabs at Radiohead aside, how many of us put stock in the Grammys? I for one think they are still pretty prestigiuos and some of the best albums and songs of the year usually win in the major categories.

    Allow me to mention that Jethro Tull won a heavy metal award right now to get that out of the way because someone is bound to bring that up.

  2. I think they're still something worth noting. Surely not every market is going to be nominated, but I think they represent to a degree what's going on in music and award those who deserve it(most of the time). I love seeing U2 win grammy's and I'd love to see Radiohead get some too. and I like the argument you bring up
  3. I just hope Coldplay doesn't take best album. If there is a god, please help us, or at least the music industry if Coldplay wins best award..


  4. They deserve it. Who would you want to win?


  6. Jesus man, watch your language.

    Grammy means nothing to me, I don't find them relevant.

    Totally agree dude
  10. coldplay should not even be nominated. The album is full of unfinished songs molded together. and if they do win I hope they give the award to Joe Satriani.



  11. Come on man. You didn't pick up on the sarcasm of my post? I love Bomb. Just jabbing the people on this site that find it to be shit.
