Indie/Alt Rock will convert the poor lost souls of pop nonsense into sensible human beings

Imagine if they replaced Regine's drumstick with an axe and sent her out into the audience

Fuck the people that were pissed. They clearly don't know Music.

@haaaliens Then, she could kill all the people who were pissed about Arcade winning.

They are just so amazing and they have such guts choosing Month of May as their Grammy opening.....they just don't really care what you think. The crap that the radios play because of mundane popularity is why I have not tuned in many a year. The best we humans have to give are appreciated by 10% of the population??? That sound about right? Its taken me me my whole life to appreciate most things....it took me one song to know AF was in a very elite group of musicians.

well fucking deserved grammy win...you will enter the Hall of Fame...i guarantee it

@Althalus1990 Thats fine if you don't want to talk about it anymore but you should not state false things.

First here is a citation that The Suburbs debuted #1 in the US

Second the Grammys are not only for American artists. It is not about statistics. It is about merit as defined by each individual voter.

@afts13 The award isn't for other countries. It never reached number one in the US. An award for best album should go with statistics. These days most people already know they like the music they buy, therefore, the most bought album would be the best album.

I'm done talking about this, neither of us will change our opinions. We both need to move on from this. I gave my opinion and I've debated it with dozens of people now. I'm not backing down so you can just have your opinion.

@Althalus1990 Actually it debuted #1 in many countries including the US. It reached #12 after winning this award but by the time it won this award all their fans already owned the album. Not only are you wrong there but your whole premise is wrong. So what if an album doesn't reach #1 (which it did). Does popularity really equate to greatness? If so then your whole view on music is pretty warped.
