Nominations for

Alicia Keys
Coldplay
Metallica
Leona Lewis
the Eagles
alanis morrisette
REM

to name a few....the cut off for albums and single submissions was September 30th 2008, so Kanye dont cry when you arent nominated.

most likely, alot of labels try to slide things in under the wire to get some sort of nomination. This is how U2 did it with their last 2 albums, im sure Beyonce and her "if i was a boy" or "single ladies" is gonna get nominated. But the grammys are a weird thing since they have rules but bend them alot and use them on some and not others, their "best new artist" rule is the best one that needs to just be rewritten because they always screw that one up. And last year was a big mess when they said that Bruce Springsteen's "magic" album could NOT be nominated because it came out a week late, HOWEVER they nominated "magic" for Best Rock Album, so who knows what rule they will rearrange this year. They are already talking Katy Perry for best new artist, despite her already having album before this one.

"Long Road out of Eden", though many think that the Eagles and Don Henley's "down with industry and labels" and "artists rights" talk will get them overlooked despite selling 3 million of this record in a time when no one sells 3 million, especially without promotion,videos,gimmicks,tours and arrests.

Here's my take.

Alicia Keys-please stop the madness with this overrated chick
Coldplay -not a fan, but the album is solid and better than their prev, not sure if it deserves a grammy
Metallica -no freaking way, the new album is a by the numbers shitty sketch of Masters/Justice era
Leona Lewis
the Eagles
alanis morrisette -was never a fan, but don't know her latest project
REM -impressed with latest album from what I have heard
Bruce -very solid album
Brian Wilson
Beyonce -hell no, more hell no than alicia. garbage
Music is the best...
