Screw the Grammies. They always give to either crap artists or whatever. Once Milli Vanilli won one, we knew it was a joke. In the best rock instrumental department, either Rush or David Gilmour (former Pink Floyd singer/guitarist) will win (Metallica won't, Nine Inch Nails (a band responsible for the "I hate my life, I hate the world") are dead in the water to lose and Zappa Plays Zappa is a longshot). My money is on Gilmour and/or Rush.

congratulations to everyone that was nominated, but I wonder what they were thinking! MIA for best album? Alicia Keys didn't get best album, just best R&B? Her album was amazing! I don't get that

Lil Wayne def needs to win Album of the Year. The album was hot and great lyrics, but knowing how grammy's are, must likely give it to some other sh!tty artist. Grammy's def blows, worst performancing they have and always give awaya awards to those don't seem to deserve it.
