Most of these nominations are ... disappointing
Take a look at the record of the year.We have Radioactive but no Mirrors by JT ?! oh...
And that Album Of The Year category.2013 was full of nice albums ! VW, National,Arctic monkeys,Arcade fire ,Amok (ok this one isn't that much of an award winner) and mbv ! How could they not take any of these great albums and the nominate Red !

I know this is mainstream but ... it wasn't so much before !

The reason why James didn't get any nominations is because there wasn't any new music from him during the eligibility period which was September 30, 2012-September 30, 2013.

God bless you and him always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Yeah, there's no doubt good ones. I guess I just won't be satisfied unless all of the Grammy nominees are worthy (never gonna happen).

I was highly impressed with these nominations. Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City getting nominated for album for the year, and then Kendrick's other nominations, especially for his remix with Miguel, which was one of my favorite singles of the year. Neko Case, Tame Impala, THE NATIONAL!!!!!!!!, Disclosure, James Blake, and Queens of the Stone Age all getting nominated was pretty spectacular as well. It was a little bullshit that Yeezus didn't get an Album of the Year nomination, but that's a minor complaint.

This is pretty much why I'm not disappointed. I'm certainly tuning in this year!

Kanye got snubbed everywhere 🤣 Oh well.

Yeah, the groups and stuff aren't great. Best New Artist might be worse than usual though for respectability... Kendrick and James Blake have been around for about 4 years and Macklemore and Kacey Musgraves have been around for about 10...

Surprised with the Blake nom though.

Impressed? about what? It's all pretty much all major label trash.

this was nominated for best rock performance:
Kashmir
Led Zeppelin
Track from: Celebration Day
Label: Swan Song/Atlantic

and then look at the metal category:
Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Dream Theater, Killswitch Engage?

What year is this?

Did you have to exist as a band at the start of rock & roll to be nominated in that category. jesus christ.

I'm surprised there's no Luke Bryan actually. I've heard his new album wasn't great, but it sold quite a bit. Figured it would have at least received a nomination.

Should we put our hopes/predictions here?

Record of the Year: Get Lucky
Album of the Year: Good Kid, M.A.A.D City
Song of the Year: Jesus Christ all this shit sucks
Best New Artist: Kendrick (Granted I haven't listened to any Musgraves or James Blake)
Best Rock Performance: My God Is The Sun
Best Rock Album: ...Like Clockwork
Best Alternative Album: I haven't listened to Tame Impala (sounds a lot like my thing though) so I'm going with Neko Case
Best Rap Performance: oh my goodness the only acceptable song is Swimming Pools. Started From The Bottom? Are you fucking kidding me?

And that's all I'll say to avoid overly repetitive answers. All this tells me is that I need to expand my musical taste.
