Just wondering what you kind folks think about all the awards given out for pop-laiden show we know as the Grammy's. As well as to ask the question have the dead ever been recognized with any grammy award. I would imagine they would fly just below the radar butwho knows.

Rock groups The Doors and The Grateful Dead and opera singer Maria Callas are among seven recording artists selected to receive Grammy Awards for lifetime achievement

The lifetime achievement Grammys, awarded by the U.S. Recording Academy's board of trustees, are usually given to musicians who were overlooked at the peak of their careers.

I dont know about any of that but I am dissapointed that Robben Ford didnt win Best Contemporary Blues Albun.

He had some stiff competition. Clapton and JJ Cale won it.

psssssssssssssssssh grammys. anything that has kanye's train wreck of a third album in the running for achievement doesnt deserve any credibility. kanye is a god awful rapper

[bucketorain]

who are you talking about????

[grateful-masonjar]

I was talkin bout the Grateful Dead. its a shame they had to wait for the award 10 years after Jerry's passing but nothin we can do bout that. as for mr kanye west and the grammys, bonnaroo will never get back its credibility to the heads until they get back to an rukind lineup which isnt exactly what MTV is all about. Bring back Smilefest

Herbie Hancock wins album of the year.


the Grammys for finally getting something right.

Any of you heard his Joni Letters? It's amazing.

BTW, Escondito is a great disc too... haven't heard Ford's latest, but I do like him an awful lot. Funny... the Joni ties.

For those who haven't seen her, here's a clip of her playing "Stash" by some band called Phish...

Never was much of a fan of the Grammy's. Ever since they decided to include Heavy Metal and gave the first metal award to Jethro Tull, I was just bemused by them. Much prefer the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which although it too is getting pretty iffy(Madonna? John Mellencamp?) at least provides a much better show (Cream reunion, talking Heads reunion, etc) to watch.

I just don't seem to resonate with "pop" music, and even though I liked some oldschool rap (Tribe called quest, Ice-T, KRS-1) I don't really enjoy much music that doesn't include a full band and a great live show. All the rappers I've ever seen perform for about an hour and it's all prerecorded. That doesn't work for me. The Grammy's don't cut it.

What's with all these awards? They do nothing but give out awards. I can't believe it. Greatest Fascist Dictator - Adolf Hitler.
