DMB will win AOTY

I posted this in another thread, you can go digging if you want. I altered it a little bit. But anyways, I'm just getting pissed at people saying that DMB has no chance of winning Album of the Year. They will easily win it, and here's why:

DMB has a good chance of winning AOTY and here's why... If you look in probably the past 10 years of AOTY winners, it seems as though there is an unexpected winner. Everybody expects people like Swift, Gaga, BEP or Beyonce to win because they are the 'mainstream' artists and are most popular amongst the general public. Did anyone really expect "Raising Sand" to win AOTY last year? I sure as hell didn't. Between the five albums, I honestly believe BW is the best musically. Swift's album is very simplistic in lyrics and music. Gaga, BEP and Beyonce I really see having no chance of winning being that they don't use insturments, they just use a bunch of vocal over beeping noises and drum machines. The AOTY has usually gone to an album that uses actual insturments. Whether you think so or not, the Grammys (even though they snubbed roy) pick albums with a lot of musical quality and class and swagger. All in all, the Album of the Year award is usually awarded to the album with the best quality of music and Big Whiskey is an easy winner in this case.

As for Rock Album of the Year, I think they have a good chance. BW was defenitly one of their most rock-based records with hard rockers like FTWII, Seven or even Timebomb. At first I didn't think they could win it but the more I think about it, the more I think they have a good chance.

    This post is very true, although I have posted it probably 10 times the past week. But glad someone out there understands.

    I just can't wait until DMB comes on stage to collect their hardware at the ceremony, and out comes Kanye West:

    "Hey Dave, Leroi and BWATGGK are great and all... but Beyonce had like, one of the best albums of all time!"

    unfortunately musical quality doesn't get recognition anymore......if it did bands like bela fleck and robert randolph would be much more recognized. Unfortunately people dont appreciate the skill it takes to create the sounds these people do and be able to replicate it live. But as I read somewhere else....I don't need to see them win a grammy to realize this, although it would make me completely ecstatic.....especially for roi's sake.

    Obviously this is a joke but why would he bring up Leroi's name?

    you think that jackass is going to get on stage and steal the spotlight when Boyd and Rashawn are standing 10 feet away?? he probably doesn't even know they're part of the band. he'd just think they're dave's bodyguards, but either way, he would be too scared to step foot on the stage while they're up there.

    Wow some people are fucking stupid haha but I gotta say I think they have a great chance. It wouldn't be shocking if they lost either though.

    I think an interesting questions is, if they were to somehow win AOTY, does that change anything going forward? It has to have some affect on the future, right?

    Are they more likely to pump out a follow-up? More likely to feel complete and maybe slow down a bit? Would it change the type of album they might make going forward? Or just keep the status quo and tour every summer and have a new release every 2-3 years.

    I don't think them winning really will change anything besides put them back into the mainstream spotlight for a bit. Which since more people will be like "oh yeah I remember them..." the band may put out a re-release/new single to work on their new found popularity.

    You're probably right. It is an interesting question though. Even if it's as little as throwing Shake Me out as an single to capitalize, it is something changing I guess.

    I don't think it will change their sound (well from their current one), but I do think this will obviously create a follow up album. They will definitely stick with Rob. I also expect them to create similar songs and go about a similar process. Sure, they might use different studios... but I don't think this will change too much. The band will become more popular again though.

    This is pretty true I think.
