Local H should win best rock album of the year.

The Grammys...eh.

The last worthy album nominated was Lateralus.

Null · 02-13-2005, 08:45 PM

grammys are a joke.

more like a popularity contest rather then real talent awards.

I laugh at Green Day when they play American idiot becuase they sing about not falling into corporate Aermica and run my the media. Yet they play on MTV and the Grammies. Can anyone say Hyppocrites?

can anyone say its just a song, not a sworn oath? seriously, all of a sudden bands have to mean everything they say in songs?

KillerGremlin · 02-13-2005, 09:49 PM

Null's right. I laugh at Green Day in general.

Go popteenpunktrendfad wooohooo!!!!!

well ya know, like em or hate em. to be around as long as they have, they're a bit more then just a 'popteenpunktrendfad'

KillerGremlin · 02-13-2005, 09:56 PM

Actually, I happen to like Green Day. I was a huge Kerplunk fan, and Insomniac was a helluva CD.

I just find it ironic that they jumped on this whole complain-about-American bandwagon, even if American Idiot is better then just about every other CD that takes blatant stabs at America and Bush and all that other junk.

I have American Idiot, and I listen to it, and I respect it in a sense. On the other hand, I don't take it the same way I take albums like Kerplunk, and I can't stand the new-age Green Day fans.

Fan or not.....but yeah.

there's a franz ferdinand song entitled "michael" that talks about how sexy this guy is... that doesn't mean the members of FF are gay/strictly gay.

All the evidence you need that the Grammy's are a joke is to look at the Metal category. There is absolutely no reason that Shadows Fall should not be nominated.

And what reason would that be?

To Null:

See, American Idiot won best rock album of the year. That's retarded. Now, like I said, American Idiot isn't a bad album, it's pretty good. BUT, I can think of several albums that go before it.

The new Monster Magnet album for one, and then, Local H - Whatever Happened To P.J. Soles.

Of course, I doubt many people here know who Local H is. Oh well.
