    I have to disagree with the Arcade fire one. Almost every song on that album was fantastic, and every lyric was important and well written. To say that lady gaga deserved it more because she was more famous, is ridiculous. That's like saying Justin bieber deserves a Grammy for being popular

      The first time I heard Gaga, I thought, "Oh, Madonna has a new song out." Subsequent songs - "Bad Romance", "Paparazzi", and the unlistenable "Telephone" - have done nothing for me. She is neither original, nor "all that". The fact that her second album needed a special "$0.99" online special to hit the charts is proof. I don't listen to Arcade Fire, so I can't give an opinion on them, but they CAN'T be worse than Gaga.

Now if Aqualung was going against And Justice for All, that is one thing, but Aqualung was released almost two decades prior. Musically, Crest of a Knave wasn't even that good, and it should have hardly been considered hard rock (certainly not metal)... Metallica got snubbed big time.

    • @Kevin-rg3yc
      @Kevin-rg3yc 9 років тому +1

      I disagree with that. I love Kendrick Lamar but TBH, Macklemore's album was more innovate because, lyrically, it stepped over the box of the traditional hip hip lyrical themes. The heist speaks on racism, disapproval over the luxurious lifestyle, homophobia, etc. good kid MADD city's lyrics are the same found in snoop dogg's Doggystyle, biggie's ready to die, dr. Dre's the classic, etc.

      You clearly have not done your research if your arguing that the only thing Kendrick Lamar has done in 2013 for rap was that one song. Listen to Good Kid M.A.A.D. city, and then listen to the heist. Even the winners of the grammy, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, accepted that kendric got robbed. Your argument is founded on ignorance of the rap and hip hop genre altogether.

That's why most music fans felt their win came out of nowhere and robbed Lady Gaga, who was the more popular artist nominated there. I've listened to a fair chunk of Arcade Fire's music and they are a great band, and I think it was nice seeing them get such a major award like this.

    What about Imagine Dragons (total horse shit) over Queens of the Stone Age and Nine Inch Nails?

    The Heist winning instead of Good Kid, M.A.A.D City was so bullshit.

    For my generation the nirvana and pearl jam snubs are probably the worst. But to see the Beatles and pink Floyd get passed over is just a crime. The Grammys are a joke!!!

    I don't understand how one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time (the suburbs) winning over a pop star's hollow debut is one of the greatest grammy upsets of all time.

    "I am a woman in love" is performed by Barbara Streisand, but the song is Barry Gibb's.

    Arcade Fire álbum The Suburbs is one of my favourites and of the best albums, they very well deserved the Grammy
