    I'm kind of split on the whole Green Day thing. I actually saw them back in 1994 at a tiny club in Cali. That was the shit. But then I saw them again last year and they put on a hell of a show. It was a spectacle. Even if you didn't like the music, the show itself was entertaining. Personally, I like 21st Century Breakdown. Its not their best but they still did a very good job. The best song is probably the opening title track with Song of the Century. Seeing that open that show was epic.

    sorry dude...hate to say it but the award is going to gaga. she has been all over the music scene this year. between her album being a huge hit and the controversy she creates for being a fucking weirdo it's in the bag for her. i mean she's been on 20/20 and oprah in the past week...she's huge right now and has basically already won. dmb have not even come close to making that big a splash with big whiskey. big whiskey has pretty much not done anything this year. i hear funny and why i am from time to time on the radio but nothing like the amount you hear lady gaga. i wish it were not that way but it's just how it is. dmb will continue to be a huge live act but as far as their album sales and radio hits, that flame has been put out. what made dmb so great and so huge was that they were so different than everyone else. dmb's biggest mistake was starting to write music that would work on the radio...i understand their thinking, "o if we have more radio hits we'll be more popular"...WRONG. i have heard so many people that aren't huge fans that say they don't like their new stuff, that it's too poppy. "i like their old stuff. it really stood out and was different". not the case anymore unfortunately.

    "sorry no" what? not saying i like lady gaga just a fact man. she is everywhere right now and is doing shit that gets attention from fans, critics and non-fans. i believe that truly has an effect on the grammy. dmb just does not have the same effect on the music world as they did 10 or 12 years ago. they're not as popular anymore.

    If you would actually backread and know what you're talking about, you would know that DMB has the best chance of winning. Lady Gaga is probably the least likely to win.

    Bela Fleck has won 9 Grammys, and has been nominated in more unique categories than any other artist in the history of the award.

    Randolph, meanwhile, has been nominated 4 times.

    Not entirely true if you look at the recent list of winners.

    2009 - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Raising Sand
    2008 - Herbie Hancock, River: The Joni Letters
    2007 - Dixie Chicks, Taking the Long Way
    2006 - U2, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
    2005 - Ray Charles, Genius Loves Company
    2004 - Norah Jones, Come Away With Me
    2003 - O Brother Where Art Thou? Soundtrack

    Of that list, I would say that only the Dixie Chick and U2 were "mainstream" when they won the award. Mainstream stuff certainly gets nominated, but honestly based on the last couple years I think DMB has an excellent chance to come out on top here.

    You know their last 5 albums have debuted #1 on the charts right? I love when people try to downplay dmb's popularity, I don't get it, but it is enjoyable. They are immensely popular, they have a platinum album every time they make one, even if it isn't good, they still move sales in a time when cd's are a dying medium, they have one of the most popular live shows every summer. Everyone knows who they are. A bunch of middle to old aged white guys vote on this stuff. DMB has just as much of a shot if not better than anyone else up for AOTY

    i will concede that snubbing Roi wasn't a minor offense, but come on...they're not out to get DMB.

    Additionally, Dave has done stuff with the Grammy's since the snub. Him and Cavallo did that hour long interview-discussion and Dave's doing the Grammy honor event for Neil Young.

    It's about time people finally get over the snub. I don't think the Grammy's outrighlty were doing anything to target the band by snubbing LeRoi. Sounds like someone made a bad decision and the Grammy's PR didn't know how to handle the situation. Kinda like how MusicToday can't handle much of anything and overcharge us at the same time!

    I have faith I believe they will come away winners. I also believe that they do care if they win and they want to win. Even those that don't give a shit about what people think, still can't help but feel good about being recognized and honored for their work.

    i do enjoy coming on ants and talking about our favorite band. mainly because i can't have these kinds of conversations with my friends who aren't as nuts about them as i am. but what drives me nuts is when people state their opinion and they're either made fun of or they and their intelligence are insulted because someone disagrees with them. argue, fight and disagree but quit the fucking insults.

    i have been a fan for about 15 years. does that make me better or worse? no. my point being is that you can't be so jaded as to who wins an award like this just because dmb is your favorite band. they're my favorite band too. i want them to win wicked bad. but i truly feel that this weirdo lady gaga is going to take it just because of how huge she is in the music industry and the media. i haven't checked the numbers but my guess is that her album sales and radio play are far greater than that of big whiskey's.

Everyone knows who they are. A bunch of middle to old aged white guys vote on this stuff. DMB has just as much of a shot if not better than anyone else up for AOTY
    as far as the albums debuting at #1...touche. but i'm sorry i've been around for a while, and yes the overall popularity for dmb in the mainstream market has dwindled. they may be the top touring act but they are just not as popular as they were 12 years ago. i don't know how old you are or how long you have been a fan but in comparison to when i was a fan in 98 and being a fan now...the amount of dmb fans i know are not as abundant and not the same as they were. sure i still **** into fans of dmb but not people that are psyched about the new music or even know they have a new album. if i know or run into a fan now it's someone that is a fan of the big 3 plus busted stuff and maybe a song or two off everyday. i don't know anyone that is a fan of dmb post 2002.

    i don't even know why i argue my point. you all are either set in your thoughts or think i'm an "idiot". i love dmb more than any band i ever have and always will...but i am realistic and know that they are not as popular a band as they used to be. and unless they release something that could come close to the big 3 (lillywhite sessions/busted stuff) then they will remain a popular touring act that can still debut at #1 from time to time. just beacuse they debut at #1 doesn't mean that album has any real power behind it. they may debut at #1 and then be completely forgotten 2 weeks later. the mainstream is fickle.

    here's to dmb winning the award. it would be an incredible win for them. sorry to even suggest they wouldn't. apparently it's just an outrage to have said that they won't win.

    Lady Gaga deserves it far more than DMB.

    Really? I haven't heard the album. Is the music really that much better?

    2007 - Dixie Chicks, Taking the Long Way
    2006 - U2, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
    2005 - Ray Charles, Genius Loves Company
    2004 - Norah Jones, Come Away With Me
    2003 - O Brother Where Art Thou? Soundtrack

    Of that list, I would say that only the Dixie Chick and U2 were "mainstream" when they won the award. Mainstream stuff certainly gets nominated, but honestly based on the last couple years I think DMB has an excellent chance to come out on top here.
    Based on this, I'd say they have a pretty good chance.

    i do enjoy coming on ants and talking about our favorite band. mainly because i can't have these kinds of conversations with my friends who aren't as nuts about them as i am. but what drives me nuts is when people state their opinion and they're either made fun of or they and their intelligence are insulted because someone disagrees with them. argue, fight and disagree but quit the fucking insults.

    i have been a fan for about 15 years. does that make me better or worse? no. my point being is that you can't be so jaded as to who wins an award like this just because dmb is your favorite band. they're my favorite band too. i want them to win wicked bad. but i truly feel that this weirdo lady gaga is going to take it just because of how huge she is in the music industry and the media. i haven't checked the numbers but my guess is that her album sales and radio play are far greater than that of big whiskey's.
    We don't think you're an idiot because of you're opinion. Its just the reasoning you use to back up is false.
