ok this album already ht the jackpot but i would have 2 nominate:
outkast
alicia keys-diary of alicia keys
usher-confessions
lil jon-crunk juice
janet-damita jo

The Outkast album already had it's Grammy night last year (I don't think it won album of the year, but probably should have). The Lil' Jon album came out too late. I really didn't care for much new music this year. I'm rooting for "Damita Jo" but that's it.

For album of the year?

Probably The Cure.

It'd be nice to see Prince get recognized though.

It would be nice for the album to get a nod but especially "Cinnamon Girl".

Teedra Moses - Complex Simplicity (any/every applicable R&B catagory)

prince - musicology
alicia keys - diary of alicia keys

I don't mean to be rude but I can't see how anyone can say with a straight face that the believe 'damita jo' should be nominated for album of the year. It's by-the-numbers been-there-done-that r & b: and this is coming from a Janet fan.

I think that Loretta Lynn and Brian Wilson will get nominated for best album and deserve it as well. Jill Scott for R & B; Kanye West for rap (might I add I don't understand why this album is so highly rated.). All the really interesting music that has been released this year has been from underground artists who would usually struggle to get Grammy nods. Very interesting to see how these pan out.

do u see where i said this album has already hit the jackpot this year?

i wish U2's album had come out before the September 30 cut-off. it's by far my favorite this year, beating out several people I'm actually bigger fans of than U2 (Prince, Elton John, Rufus Wainwright, George Michael, Janet Jackson, etc.)


but I guess i'll go with Prince. i don't care one way or the other if it wins, but a nomination could lead to another show-stopping Grammy performance.

oh yes! Loretta Lynn should be nominated. and sweep every category for which she's eligible, for that matter.

Can you honestly say without cringing that you still like Janet more than U2?

GangstaFam said:

only for old-times' sake

Diffidently Musicology 4 all the drama that came with it.

i hate U2 so damn much and their music makes no damn sense

from your profile:

Favorite (other) artists: Kanye West,Usher,Destiny's Child,Basically anything dealing with R&B,Pop,Rock,Soul,Hip-Hop,Gospel,and Justin Timberlake


but that's okay. they're probably paying you to badmouth U2 also.

no i just can never understand U2's music and its horrible

oh well its my opinion not urs

LORETTA LYNN: VAN LEAR ROSE

Album of the year.

The Diary of Alicia Keys
Brandy-Afrodesiac
Gwen Stefani's new album

I think Teena Marie's 'La Dona' CD should get a few nominations in the R&B category.

Supernova said:

Call me anything you like, but this is just pathetic. This is why pop shit like Usher is selling so much. Some people do not have a clue. Outkast is cool, but the others don't deserves any awards at all.

Prince's "Musicology". It may not be Prince's best album but it sure as hell beats most everything else that was released in 2004.

there was quite a bit of good music released this year.

Beastie Boys
U2
The Cure
PJ Harvey
Bjork
Morrissey
George Michael
Elton John
Franz Ferdinand
Interpol
Gwen Stefani
Rufus Wainwright
Loretta Lynn




now, i'm not saying all of those are better than Musicology, but it was hardly a bad year for really good releases.
