    Nice to see Idles getting in there for a few nominations too. Tangk is an amazing album.

    What does ‘best rock performance’ mean? What performance is that for?
    I believe 'best rock/fill in the blank genre performance' goes to the band or act literally performing the song.

    'Record of the year' is for the songwriter/songwriters of the song.  which in some cases and often in pop, is not necessarily the same as the performer.

    I THINK that is the difference.  mokeywrench covered this already, my bad

    Record of the year goes to the performers. Song of the year goes to the songwriter

    Ya, don't hate the grammys, just most of the music on them. I do not think any music that appeals to adults will be on the Grammys for most part, I was surprised PJ's Fixer even got nominated. My daughter 12 and wife watched them, I told them come get me when somebody plays some music and not some elaborate stage show with lipcinking! Can not believe some moron's compared Elton John to Lady Gagme! Enough said on this non-issue for real music fans!
    I don't think you are that familiar with who has actually been nominated for Grammys. I'm not sure what you mean by "music that appeals to adults," but Jon Batiste won Album of the Year three years ago and was nominated again last year. Tony Bennett was nominated a couple of years ago. These are not artists who are big with the teen set, and there are plenty of other examples. Brandi Carlile, Kendrick Lamar, Janelle Monae, Coldplay, Boygenius, SZA, ABBA (!)-- these are all recent Album of the Year nominees who are not relying on teen listeners.

    The other point is that artists that you probably think of as "not appealing to adults"-- like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and others-- are actually very popular among adults. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that anything that is popular is only popular with young people. Taylor Swift has been putting out albums for almost 20 years. Any teen fans she had when she released her first blockbuster album in 2008 are well into adulthood now. I'm a 49-year-old dude who is a fan, and I know plenty of other folks in their 30s and 40s who are also fans of Swift, Eilish, etc. I have a 45-year-old female friend who is such a Chappell Roan fan that she dressed as her for Halloween last week.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Seattle shows 
    It's not usually for a live performance unless it specifically says so
    Or if Stone Cold says so

    "Dark Matter" is one hell of a rock album. I'd love to see PJ get recognized for their efforts in creating it. It'd be a nice follow-up to Matt Cameron's recognition this week, too.

    I mean, Stone doesn’t have space in his basement for another Grammy anyway.

    The Beatles winning a Grammy in 2025 is pretty ridiculous.  Just goes to show you people get stupid when that band is brought up.  Not to mention should be in the pop category not rock..
