Danneskjold Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Almost all rewards are concentrated more on politics than on quality. It's gotten stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Grieb Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I feel out of date. I haven't heard any of these songs. There are artists whose name I don't rocognize. I have become a codger. One other comment why do I suspect that all the nominations for the Dixie Chicks are for their activism and not for their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they pick the BEST music, but just what's there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Russell Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Imogen Heap has been nominated for Best New Artist? Her first CD came out in 1998. This should have been Bob Dylan's year ("Modern Times" is fantastic), yet his album wasn't nominated for Album Of The Year or Record Of The Year, ridiculous. As for the Dixie Chicks, politics aside, they are a very good pop-country band. They're not any less deserving of their nominations than any of the other artists they are up against.Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 I always REALLY disliked Bob Dylan. Am I the only one!? Whenever I express my disdain for him, I face a hippie backlash (not that all Dylan fans are hippies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I express my disdain for him, I face a hippie backlash (not that all Dylan fans are hippies).Well, count me among the non-hippy Dylan fans. I admire Dylan for his revolutionary approach to song-writing. He was a musical pioneer and helped bridge the gap between folk and rock. I'm curious Kori, what is it that you don't like about Dylan's music? :shocked: No backlash from me, Kori. Everyone is entitled to their *WRONG* opinions.

Danneskjold Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Honestly, if I can ever find an award that doesn't have an underlying political message to whatever it is giving an award for then I might take the time to watch. That's if I want to fall asleep. These things are so dull, last interesting thing that happened during a live musical performance was Timberlake ripping Janet Jackson's shirt off. (joke) And honestly, even that wasn't real suprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Grieb Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Welcome Jeff! In the 1960s I was into folk music in a big way. The stuff I brought was the Kingston Trio, Brothers Four. I heard about Joan Baez and brought her album and really enjoyed her. I later at my brother's urgings brought Bob Dylan. I found Dylan awful. I hated his nasally voice. Many of his songs have been done better by other artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickI'm with Mick here; nothing has topped the 1998 Grammies for entertainment. Soy Bomb made the show, as you can see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
