Well how cool would it be, to wake up tomorrow and find out that Arcade Fire won album of the year, that Ray lamontagne's Beg Borrow or Steal won best song of the year, Mumford and Sons won best new band, and Vampire Weekend won best alternative album?

Im hoping for this to be the case.

oddly enough 2010 was the first year i got into eminem. He's no doubt one of the greatest mc's of all time, and recovery is a good album, but it isnt best album of 2010.

    The alternative categories were tough picks because I love both "Brothers" and "The Suburbs." Really surprised but totally happy for the Black Keys picking up Best Alternative album, as well as for Tighten Up. My favorite album last year.

    So awesome that The Black Keys won three Grammy's. I really wasn't sure if they were going to do it. Can't to see them next week!

    Also amazing to see Them Crooked Vultures win too!

    Dylan sounded awful but he looked like he was having a ton of fun.

    Mick Jagger's performance tonight has been the best in my opinion. He manages to make everyone else look exceedingly boring. Second best would have to be Eminem/Rihanna/Dr Dre.
    32 shows and counting...

    Yeah that was well deserved but the whole "second song" thing seemed weird. If they hadn't won would the show have just ended sooner? Did they know beforehand? Where are the conspiracy theorists? :D

    I am in shock!!! I can't believe Arcade Fire won. Congrats to the Grammy Academy. I think you actually got it right this year.

    So awesome the Black Keys took home some gold.

    I also think it's funny that a lot of people flipping out over Arcade Fire winning are the same ones who have been denouncing the Grammy's as "meaningless" for years.

    OH MY GOD!!! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. The most important band making music. I saw these guys in 2007, heard of them in the dorms in college, some kid said, "they are a wierd band with a glockenspiel". Saw t


    This band deserved to win. best album of the year of the nominated list hands down. Such a nuanced album, so beautiful.

    Biggest band in the world is rightfully Arcade Fire. WOW.

    This is incredible, im kind of shaking right now!!!


    Congrats Win and Regine and the whole crew! So awesome
