Why are Arcade Fire and Cage the Elephant nominated?? They didn't put out any music this year

The Grammy's have a fiscal year of that starts and ends somewhere in September/October, so those releases still qualify.

I always forget the Grammy's exist. The most exciting time in the music community is right now when music critics release their "top albums of the year" lists. Some people get the praise they deserve, others get criminally overlooked, and we all get riled up about it!

I was so hoping Songs of Innocence would be nominated for AOTY. I had other hopes, but I was sure this one had, like, an actual chance.

All awards for art are bullshit, whether it be movies, music, television, literature, or theater. Eddie Vedder put it best when Pearl Jam won a Grammy in 1996:

"I don't know what this means. I don't think means anything."

That Beyonce record is fantastic and I like Morning Phase. Haven't heard the other three, though. Are any of them worth it? All I know about Sam Smith is that "Stay with Me" sucks balls.

Awful. Just as bad as Rolling Stone. I'd say I'm disappointed, but I expect as little as I do for Rolling Stone. Irrelevant. Maybe the show will be entertaining.

The snubbed Jason Isbells - Southeastern last year by not even giving it a nom in Americana.
Thank god they didnt make the same mistake by over looking Metamodern Sounds in Country Music.
Hopefully Sturgill takes it home.

The Grammy's don't really award the best of music, neither do the AMA's or most music award shows for that matter. It always feels like the record companies are celebrating their artists who have sold the most records and artists with the largest fan base. Keep in mind it's a highly watched ceremony with big sponsors, America isn't going to tune in to watch The War on Drugs, Temples, Sun Kil Moon, and Aphex Twin. However every once in a while they get an award right like when Arcade Fire's The Suburbs won best album.

This year was bound to be awful. It's nice that HAIM broke through, and that St. Vincent got a nod. Other than that, I couldn't care less about this year's ceremony.

I think that's about it.

🤣 From what I understand song is based purely on the way the song is written as if you were just looking at sheet music whereas Record is on a fully produced product. But considering that most of the time the nominees are the same for both I dont think they put as much thought into it as the distinction would indicate.
