There were a ton of great performances at the Grammys, but it's a shame Taylor Swift is now known as the only female to win multiple AOTY awards. Not that the Grammys matter in the long (or short) run, but it's such a bitter feeling to know more people voted for 1989 than To Pimp A Butterfly. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.

I can't even get into this bullshit right now, all I'll say is thank you for summing up my thoughts on this.

I'll try to keep it brief by saying 1989 was a step in the right musical direction for Taylor Swift as I enjoyed a couple tracks on it (Really can't say that about other Swift songs/albums). Most of the other tracks were still cookie cutter, and the team of producers who write for her was still very apparent and prevalent.
Kendrick Lamar on the other hand put out a game changing LP that will be remembered as the album that defined 2015. A smart and genuine political statement as much as it was a genius musical statement that most of us are still chewing over. It was able to move a lot of people and encapsulate a lot of people's feeling on social issues last year and we should always be able to look back on TPAB to see where we are socially and how far we've come from the issues surrounding us at the time. Yeah, maybe this is hyperbolic and maybe I'm exaggerating it's importance, but that is how I really feel about To Pimp a Butterfly.
All the Grammys did last night was give Taylor Swift a (continually) meaningless award after Kendrick tore the roof off of the Staples Center with his performance and proved that even if the voters were to rob him of what was rightfully his, he is still the real winner. He knows it, Taylor Swift knows it, we know it. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.
At least 1989 is a decent record though. Is it any worse than that pale imitation of sea change that Beck won with? Muse winning best rock album for drones was more disconcerting.

I'm okay with either winner, honesty, though it would be pretty cool for Kendrick to get it. As long as Muse doesn't win anything with Drones, I'm happy.

The Grammys happened last night and Muse won best rock album.
