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.

Also amazing to see Them Crooked Vultures win too!

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.

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?
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.
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

when was the last time an indie band won a major award, since 2001, when the indie scene sort of became known?
Additionally, when was the last time a band like arcade fire, where people call their live shows religious experiences, and then a band with the type of critical and fan praise that follows arcade fire?
Its a watershed moment for sure.
First indie band to win album of the year. Death cab i think has won alternative album in the past.
its another odd turn in the indie world. Who would have guessed so many indie bands would have hit number 1 in 2010 and a couple have hit number 1 in 2011 as well.

but how can they be album of the year when The Black Keys beat them in the Alternative album category. Wouldn't that then make Brothers Album of the Year because it beat them earlier? Just sayin'

We snuck down to the posh seats to watch their category announced, so it was cool to be close for their second song. The performances this year were the best in many years.
Mick Jagger was great, as was Cee Lo, and Eminem. As usual, I am still puzzled over the appeal of Muse!
Again, this is a night for the history books folks.
Ummm. Awesome!! HOw was the Mumford/Avett/Dylan in person?! Lucky lucky man!

i think its more bizaare the grammys has an alternative music category at all. its complete nonsense in reality. When I think of alternative I think of the formative years of my youth and the music we that nurtured me, but I also get a sick feeling of the sort of absolute crap that litters modern day "alt rock" radio stations, three days grace, and hinder and all that rubbish. Alternative music died in 1994 when kurt died. When was the last time alt rock radio or modern rock commercial radio played anything worthwhile beyond the occasional early 90's bone thrown to people
When a band like arcade fire wins album of the year, a band who is as alternative, or was as alternative and indie as one can get, the labels have to be rexamined.
They need an indie category, as its been the most dominant musical genre for a decade now. Indie bands routinely hit number 1 on the charts...
alternative as a label strikes me as so oddly out of tune with what is going on with music right now its almost laughable
The Mumford thing was ok......we just watched it on the broadcast, but Dylan sounded better in person cuz the music drowned out his voice. He is sounding a bit rough these days!
If you can understand even a little of Dylan these days its a good day.
