    My favorite is, "Who is that? / Never heard of them..." like it's a dig against the artist(s) because those people don't keep up with music past a certain point in time. 😄
    When Arcade Fire won Album of the Year for The Suburbs, Rosie O'Donnell had this exact reaction very publicly, and I remember thinking, "Rosie, you think you're slagging on Arcade Fire, but you're just dunking on yourself by demonstrating that you're out of touch with contemporary music."
    And the inverse when people my age are blown away by youngsters who don't know who our favorite bands are. 😁

    Van who? 😭
    When I was in Seattle for the shows last May, the girl working the front desk at the gym I went to downtown had never heard of Pearl Jam. In Seattle. She was in her mid-20s, I'd guess. Similarly, my Airbnb host, a 30-year-old woman, seemed only vaguely familiar. Again, this was in Seattle.
    I have experienced similar.  We’re getting old! 
    Never! I'm 49 now, but I will be turning 32 later this year because I am going to start counting in hexadecimal. So I'll be getting younger!
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    As much as I am (obviously) a Pearl Jam fan, those Idles and Fontaines DC albums slapped hard. I don't think there is a repeated lyric in Fontaines DC's Starburster. As Idles would say, "It goes and it goes and it goes."

    I think the kids say slapped.

    Led Fuc$in Zeppelin only won 1 Grammy other than a Lifetime Achievement award.  That’s all you need to know.

    I love Zeppelin, and they were (and still are) hugely popular, but they were not exactly critical darlings during their career.

    as has been mentioned, grammy wins are like any other award show: the artist/producer/label/whoever has to go on a strong campaign to get the votes, and that often decides who wins. that's why they're all such a farce. it's not the best movie/song/album/tv show. It's who has the best marketing campaign. 

    and really, the Beatles are the most iconic band in the world, but that new song isn't even that much to write home about. it's cool to have  "new" track from them, but it's not even close to their best work.

    Upset that Pearl Jam lost because we don't that they'll get nominated again. Even if they put out the greatest album of all time. Their track record is low. The Beatles can find a lost demo in the attic and get nominated. I just hope Beyoncé doesn't put out a rock album when Pearl Jam releases theirs
    There’s no reason to be upset about this. I guarantee the band isn’t 
    Eddie told me he cried for 2 hours 😉 
    Well in the words of one Edward Vedder circa 1996, it doesn’t mean anything.  
    Easy to say while standing there having won it

    I can tell you it’s easy to say not having won one as well.

    You’re obviously right, the Grammy’s are very important to them. Jeff has been lying for 30 years and the back of Stone’s basement is a place of prestige

    And they overlooked most of Bob Dylan’s best work. The awards have a long history of not voting for the best work .

    I'm here for the latest IDLES record.  I really like Dark Matter, but TANGK for the win in that category, on my vote

    Yeah I remember seeing DM go up against that and thinking I would have a hard time arguing that DM is a better album. I love DM but TANGK is just younger and raw. It deserved the Grammy

    Is it bad that I really really liked the new Stones album?  It was my favourite since Steel Wheels.  I play it often.  I could see how it could beat Dark Matter.  I'm not even sure which of the two I like better, they're both damn good.

    Why would that be bad? Like what you like. It sounds like the Stones, there’s no reason for someone who likes them not to enjoy it

    Not bad at all. As we all know music is subjective. There are fellow PJ fans that don't like Dark Matter and I cannot wrap my head around that as I love DM. I don't typically watch the Grammy's but will be checking out the new Stones and Idles releases because of the Grammy's. People shouldn't compare new music without ever really listening to the new music. Stay tuned!

    Ashamed to admit this is the first time I listened to a song from her start to finish.  Not really my kind of music, or so I thought.  I thought it was moving and fantastic.  Her message is awesome and probably something a lot of people need that are in a place where they feel alone.  Now I get why the crowd at Lollla was so big.  I guess me not listening to her until now could be because I'm getting old too.  Either way, this made the show for me.....brilliant.
    My older son despises her songs. I actually really like them. They have this weird edge to them. Pink Pony Club is the newest radio single and it's got this mix of 80's and present day sound rolled in to one.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    This performance was really great. I had three thoughts: 1) she is so talented; 2) I am genuinely moved by the semiautobiographical nature of the song and her journey as a small-town queer person who had to leave home to find acceptance; and 3) this is why Trump won.

    As usual, there were a number of really fun performances. Sabrina Carpenter is just a delight. I was impressed by Doechii, who is very much not in my lane. Billie Eilish was typically great. And I was prepared to hate Charli XCX-- the whole Brat thing is so overdone-- but she was pretty fantastic. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are great performers and I enjoyed them, but I would have rather heard them do their Grammy-winning collaboration "Die with a Smile," a great song that also happens to be the current number one on the Hot 100.
    I'm just glad we've gotten past Taylor Swift dominance on radio and at awards shows...for now. Sabrina is starting to get a tad annoying to hear all over, but I really like a couple of her singles and hate a few others. I initially didn't like the Bruno/Gaga collab but that song has grown on me. As usual, Bruno disappears for a while and then all of a sudden he's all over on different songs.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Agree - the energy is badass.  It is for DM, as well, but when my mix has a TANGK song come up I am bouncing around.
