Next Years Grammy Album..... I know youre thinking its way too earyl to even speculate, but its not really. U2's "Dismantle" is easily a shoe in for next years Grammy Album of the year. This year U2 won 3 grammys for Vertigo which is easily the least favorite track on that CD. U2's CD didnt make the cut as far as being eligible for consideration but the Vertigo single and Video did just make it.
Also back in 2001 u2 got robbed of the Award by "O brother" soundtrack, give me a break, sure it was a good soundtrack but it was a compilation of songs already put out, that would be like nominating someones greatest hits for best album. So I think u2 should easily get a nomination next year and should win unless something comes out this year that really kicks ass, or if another legend dies while recording a new cd.

U2 wins the Grammys for whatever crap they put out, basically. Bono is the Meryl Streep of the Grammys. | |

Well I would have to agree in that case. But i wouldnt refer to their stuff as CRAP, on their shittiest day their better than 95% of whats out their now. The same can also be said of Sting, who gets nominated for everything, Springsteen who won this year for a song that was on CD from 3 years ago. And Lenny Kravitz who is always nominated and wins Rock Male. But this just goes to show that there really isnt ANYONE coming up that can or will Last.

They still got what, 3 Grammys for it? So expect a boatload next year. SO funny when that quasi-religious puff-piece won over Prince back in '87. Ok, well maybe not funny.

[Edited 2/27/05 10:48am]  Yeah that "quasi-religious puff-piece" that only went to #1, sold 10 million + copies in the US alone, and had two #1 singles. Lest we forget about the critical praise it received then, and is still receiving now.
This is what never fails to surprise me about Prince fans and the 1987 Grammy's. Critically, SOTT and Joshua Tree were the two best received albums of the year. SOTT got a decent reception commercially, but Joshua was huge. It's not like the Grammy committee picked "Whitney" or "Bad" or "Who's That Girl" over SOTT. Out of the two albums, Joshua had equal critical praise, and greater commercial success. Dismantle is a better album that All That You Can't, so I would agree that it should get a nom, but remember Joshua Tree is the only U2 album that received the award. U2's albums usually get big critical praise and big sales. It's not surprising that the Grammy committee notices that. [Edited 2/27/05 11:12am] I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Btw, I think we've all heard your opinion about Boner (Beavis and Butthead used this 10 years ago) ad nauseum. Find something new to say, please. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Besides, the Grammys suck anyway. Look at some of the prior albums of the year:
Falling Into You, The Bodyguard Sdk, Can't Slow Down, No Jacket Required 
I'd almost rather not see an artist I like be in that company. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

[Edited 2/27/05 11:53am]  Hey, sometimes I can be as defensive as the Janet, Michael, Madonna, fans on this board. I've seen many worse displays when someone has dared to suggest things about Janet recycling her tours or having no singing talent, Michael not being the greatest thing ever, and Madonna being off-key every time she sings live.
Besides, you're welcome to your opinion. If I rolled my eyes at every opinion that I didn't agree with on here, I think I'd have 1000+ more posts to my name. I just think it's ridiclious that people say that Prince was "robbed" of Album of the Year in 1987. If he had lost out to "Whitney", then, yes, he would've been robbed. However, he lost to an album that was just as highly praised, and sold better. That was my point. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

But I still think SOTT is a much more enduring record, so that's just my preference. Not like the Grammys ever pick enduring records, though.  | |
