    Guess some of you have never heard of Tool, or Radiohead or countless other bands with fantastic art direction. Oh well. It's always cool when PJ wins something.

    What the fuck? There was absolutely nothing special about that packaging at all. Have other bands started releasing albums in paper bags recently?

    If you have the LP it is pretty sweet. Different feel to it and the cutouts and all...

    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    It IS for the artwork/design. The award has been around since the very first Grammys. It used to be called Best Album Cover. They expanded it to include the entire packaging in the 70's.

    thanks for clarifying

    Look at all this teen angst! Arent we all supposed to be 30 and 40 something?? How can you hate the Grammys but think of the rock Hall of Fame as some kind of honor? They're no different.



    I'll always applaud good artists getting recognition for their art. Congrats.

    They seem a bit different to me. The Hall of Fame is supposed to recognize a body of work overtime, regardless (for the most part) of sales. The Grammys are about what is hip and popular that year. Look at the nominees list. This is the best music of the year? C'mon. The Grammys have their place in terms of celebrating music and allowing the elite to have a big party but the HOF does seem to be a bit more reputable.

    The HOF is just as bad as the Grammys. Just ask yourself why Stevie Ray Vaughn is still not in the HOF, or why it took Heart, and other female acts so long. It's all politics and they all play them.

    I am not sure what this means anymore. I mean Tenacious D won for best "metal" performance and it was a cover song at that! Pretty sure they got that wrong....
