The Black Eyed Peas"

who wants to help me up?

[mat1419]

i think hoobastank for song of the year might actually be worse

[TJ Wells]

ha. what's driving me crazy is song of the year (or something...something that has to do with writing) john mayer is nominated for "daughters". that really came out of left field. not that its a bad song. its just really recent and plus i thought that album came out last year...

[ojgio]

i'll help

[Nate_RAWKS]

Congratulations to Green Day they deserve it. American Idiot is definetly award worthy.

[sell the sunris]

umm..they're actually up for 7: Record of the year
Album of the year
Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal
Best Rock song
Best rock album
Producer of the year - Rob Cavallo
Best Short Form Music Video (greenday.net)

[TJ Wells]

according to grammy "rules", if the producer thing wins they dont accept or go up or anything, so it doesnt really count.

[Cottage Cheese]

Seriously though... "The Reason" is nominated for song of the year? When that song came out, I noticed how basic, simple, and all around cliched the song was... yet it's considered one of the top five best written songs in the past year. Also... one of the the record of the year noms is "Let's Get It Started"... grant it it's a catchy party song and all, but do people really know the actual version has them singing about how getting drunk/high associates their state of mind with the attitudes and behavior of mentally retarded individials? That's just downright ridiculous. But yea, conrats to Green Day with mulitple noms, not to mention the Killers and Modest Mouse.

[xbrokendownx]

sweet, congrats to them.

the new killers record is really starting to grow on me...

[sell the sunris]

I'm just going by what GD's going with, but I personally agree with you TJ

[sinbad]

I can't believe Hatebreed's nominated

[Chemical Love]

green day should win quite a few of those awards. at least i think so. record and album of the year might be tough against usher - confessions just becasue that is so popular. hopefully they do well.

How can you congratulate Green Day and the Killers and put down "The Reason" in the same post? Do you honestly think that Green Day and the Killers have musical talent? Granted, The Killers added in a lot of synth and they set themselves apart a bit, but Green Day basically INVENTED cliche pop-punk.

As a group, they produce music that is pleasant to the ears, but for that matter, so does Simple Plan and Good Charlotte. What sets Green Day apart from them? Because they started the trend? Or is it because they make the songs seven minutes long? (because obviously that makes you a superior musician). Is it because Green Day is political? I'd really like to know.

I guess it's just "scene" to like Green Day but hate everything else that sounds just like them.

[slim reaper]

is it just me, or did eminem get JAMMED? at first i thought maybe his new album was too recent to be nominated, but then i saw gwen stefani on there. what, did he get like 1 nomination? i'm not a big rap fan, but i can actually listen to the new eminem cd in its entirety. that says a lot. kanye west put out a pretty decent cd, but encore blows it out of the water.

[thentheresme]

Wow Killswitch Engage? That would be sweet if they won a Grammy. Those guys kick some ass.

[Trainsaw]

I hope Kanye West sweeps the whole awards. College Dropout is insane.

[fork_in_outlet]

I can't believe Hatebreed's nominated
Yeah, Slipknot too. Weird, I thought that the old white guys who nominate bands for grammys only listened to shitty "soul" music.

i dont think green day is really worthy at being the best of those categories, but they are certainly better then what they are going against. i hope modest mouse wins both their awards

and yeah, the reason is horrible

I agree to some degree. Like you said, I think Greenday got these nominations because their music is somewhat politically influenced. But there is no question that "The Reason" is simplistic, and Greenday deserves nominations much more than that song does. Since Greenday invented this genre of music, it's ridiculous to compare them to Good Charlotte. That's what sets them apart. They created it.

Are you serious?

[aminorthreat55]

See the thing is, Green Day started it, you're right, they're the original. Thats why people always complain about bands who try to sound like them. Those bands aren't being innovative and new, they're being unoriginal and boring, and frankly, who wants to hear that? Not me.

[em0_stars]

love the family guy title

[aminorthreat55]

I don't think their nominations have anything to do with them being political. Do you really think its just coincidental that they get so many nominations when they have created such a different album from what they typically make?

[wesgemm08]

the grammys just prove my point that the current state of music is horrendous. Bands r out there producing amazing music and getting no respect from the "music experts" while the black eyed peas and hoobastank r getting nominated for multiple grammy awards. "The most fundamental problem right now with music is money and the mediocrity it produces."

[MidniteVulture]

I'm excited for Green Day, they definitely deserve this...

Even if American Idiot was a bit of a lackluster album. :)

I hate people giving the band props for making such a political statement when they had two songs out of thirteen that remotely touched upon anything political. American Idiot is not a political album and apparently people are too stupid to realize this.

maybe not directly politicial, but without a doubt social commentary

i dont think that guy would put up much of a fight tho, i could picture him having like question mark ninja stars up his sleeves tho or some shit like that

[ActorInThisPlay]

First of all Eminem's new cd is garbage. Second of all the idea that you're even entertaining the idea that his new CD was as good or even better that College Dropout makes your opinions invalid.

Emimen's new CD isn't garbage....its just not his best work. I still like it a lot but I liked the Eminem Show and the Marshall Mathers LP better. Kanye's CD is amazing and he deserves the 10 Grammy nominations he got.

Damn...10 nominations, that would suck if he didn't even win one.

[Basketcase]

congrats to Green Day. they rightfully deserve that recognition and hopefully they will walk away with a few of those awards.

[projectmayhem16]

[Trademark797]

Honestly, I am happy for green day, but like someone said before, their song is just as simplistic as the hoobastank song. Just because you dont like a song doesnt mean its not a good song, just not to you. Alot of very innovative bands make very simplistic music. I'm not saying green day doesnt deserve what their getting and im not saying hoobastank is innovative but they are good musicians and they deserve to be nominated. I do think its kinda funny how you guys complain about hoobastank or the black eyed peas but if matchbook romance or fallout boy happened to be up there you'd all be pissing your pants. Again, I'm not knocking mbr or fallout boy, i love those guys, I'd probably be pissing myself too, but dont say just because a song is simple or you think it sucks that it doesnt deserve a grammy nomination.

[chinesemanwhore]

[QUOTE=Trademark797]Honestly, I am happy for green day, but like someone said before, their song is just as simplistic as the hoobastank song.

I like both songs but the reason is WAY MORE simplistic than american idiot. Instrumentally wise any beginner can play that song and the lyrics are very cliche. Now i still like the song but american idiot has a lot more intellectual lyrics and is something green day have taken a big step forward with. The two are nowhere near each other in originality, progress, and complexity.

i was complaining about the state of popular music as a whole right now.. i was just using those bands as examples.. and i think fob and mbr r good examples of why popular music sux right now also.. its a shame that u can write 1 catchy song that anyone with minor music writing skills could write on any given day and be at the top of the industry if you have the right connections

[helplesseyes]

if kanye west doesn't win atleast half the awards he's up for, i'm gonna be greatly disappointed. but i think kanye west is just completely amazing.

[r0flc0pt3rz]

kanye got 10 nominations... i love kanye.

Hello?
Joe Strummer & Johnny Cash for "Redemption Song"?

This site wouldn't exist had it not been for Joe Strummer.

[CT-Tim]

I kinda have to laugh at most of the "are you on the right website" comments. There are a LOT of talented bands that are pushed by this site, that's why I come here. Just because I don't think pop-punk = talent doesn't mean I'm at the wrong site.

And honestly, I've listened to the whole Green Day album, and I think "The Reason", however simplistic it is, is a better song than any of Green Day's... If not for any other reason than the fact that Hoobastank's singer... can sing.

And it's wonderful to invent a genre... people say that Green Day and Nirvana were revolutionary, and they were, but they weren't that talented. It's cool to start off as a pop-punk band playing the same progressions over and over again, but after you've done it for two albums, it's time to learn to play your instruments...

[Scott Weber]

You don't need to be talented, thats the thing. The fact that they can do so much with so little is incredible. The Ramones had almost no talent, but look what they did with it, played 2,262 shows. Same goes for the majority of old punk bands, they didn't have talent, but that is the beauty of it. They did so much with what they had, that's why they're revolutionary, that's why people idolize them, because they're the everyman, not some rock star who sits there trying to blow people away. And I'm not a huge Nirvana fan, I think they're good and thats all, but Dave Grohl is one of the most talented musicians of our generation, whether or not you want to admit it. And not only do I think "The Reason" is overrated, but its watered-down, its boring, cliche, and doesn't come close to any of those Green Day songs. And as far as the instruments are concerned, that is the one of the first drum beats you are taught when you learn to play drums, there is nothing special about the guitar or bass lines, and the lyrics and vocals are medicore at best and probably wouldn't be that good if it weren't for a little something called Pro Tools, so yeah, I think I'm done.

[KarateExplosion]

why not talk about kanye west's 10 nods? you keep bringing up that fucking loser mc lars. why not talk about good rap music? kanye's cd fucking owns.

[westsidas2000]

i can't say much about the other categories, but for the rock categories, none of the bands nominated should be nominated except maybe modest mouse. The new green day is their worst cd yet. Seriously, the new flogging molly cd is even better. I seriously skip any new green day everytime it comes up on a shuffle. If the AP.net staff got to nominate...they'd probably nominate say anything is a real boy or some shit for every rock category. of all the shitty songs they have for "best rock song", Float On is probably the best song.

[aminorthreat55]

I don't see how American Idiot is their worst album. I think it's better than all of them except for Dookie.

[screwtape]

dear everyone,

green day did not invent pop punk. just because they were the first punk band you heard does not mean they invented the sound.

I am not trying to put down the band. do they deserve popularity? yes. they write catchy, decent songs. do they deserve awards? no. they have done nothing recently to progress music in any of its forms. this doesn't make their music bad, just not worthy of a grammy. of course the grammys are usually a popularity contest, so i guess they do deserve to win.

No kidding they didn't invent pop punk. The sad part is most people think they did.

[aminorthreat55]

But at the same time I'll give them credit for what they have done, they've put out some great records and are easily one of the best live bands I've ever seen.

[unholy_amanda]

Since when were Nickelback considered hard rock?

[Darren McLeod]

You guys are all so busy arguing about Green Day and Kanye you didn't even notice the best thing about this.

Not to take anything away from green day or anything but saying they created the whole pop-punk sound isnt absolutely true. i would have to stay the offspring did a lot for pop-punk as well, just with the release of smash

Um, please tell me you know who the Descendents are, but based on your post I assume you don't.

[Ryan Mills]

Although I find the Grammy's to be an absolute joke, considering most people making these judgments have never heard most good music, Modest Mouse does deserve some credit.

[Ryan Mills]

After reading most of these post all I can do is shake my head. If you're going to go on a high-minded rant about Green Day and then say their new album is bad, you have no credibility. American Idiot is quite a good pop-punk CD involving a lot more than most ever do. Name dropping earlier bands doesn't give you credibility if you can't decipher what good music is today. It's easy to know what music was good in the past; it's not nearly as easy to wade through all of today's bands though. Also, if you think you're so above everyone in taste and make statements like rap sucks, you really don't know much about music, especially underground music.

[merv the perv]

i think hoobastank for song of the year might actually be worse


seriously...the first time i heard it that song i said "i think this is the worst song i've ever heard." But Black Eyed Peas do suck major ass.

[yc_mest]

Um, please tell me you know who the Descendents are, but based on your post I assume you don't.
i was just giving one example. obviously the descendents are a huge influence in the creation of pop-punk as well as a lot of bands like social d ect.... everyone seems to think green day created pop-punk but all i was saying is the offspring should get some credit as well. smash, in my opinion, did just as much to pop-punk today as dookie did

[FinchBulldog2]

If Hatebreed wins a grammy I'm going to stop playing music all together.

[FinchBulldog2]

Did you happen to catch Hoobastanks performance at the MTV video awards? ... what an excellent vocal performance.
He had one bad show...It happens. Obviously he can hit the notes if the song has been recorded. That's a hard song to sing. Bert from the used also has a lot of notes that are hard to hit in their songs. When they're live most of the time he will scream them instead of singing them. Doug could'nt do that because the reason is a ballad. The Used never plays Greener With The Scenery live for this reason. Towards the end of the song there is a really really hard note to hit. It's not as easy as it seems.

Just 'cause you hear it on an album doesn't mean he actually hit the notes there cowboy.

Its a little thing called "studio magic" homeboy. And everytime ive seen the used they have played on my own, which is a "balldad" so to speak, and bert has no problem hitting those notes.

doug purposely has the audience sing that high part all the time though...take the pepsi smash performance...it's not just one bad show--it's his voice

[nfgdragon]

uh. that's a bold statement. not denying his importance, but...he didn't create punk/emo all by himself.

True, Malcom McLaren created punk with the Sex Pistols, but they were gone by what, '78? No other British punk band would have, or could have carried the punk flag beyond there. Had their been no Clash, the punk music scene would be drastically different, today. If it would even exist at all.

fucking OK..... CORPORATE LABELS ALL OVER BLACK EYED PEAS - "LETS GET RETARTED" WENT TO "LETS GET IT STARTED"
NOW THAT IS A REASON TO HATE PEOPLE.. fucking ruined the meaning of the song, maybe ill hear it covered on Kidz Bop 5.

Cant believe Killswitch Engage has even been touched. They are the shit. amen to that brotha.
