Who here has actually listened to Arcade Fire (they beat Em)

[classthe_king]

I would have given it to Diabolic

He wouldn't even show up if they begged him.

I know lmao but it would have been awesome if he did. Went up on stage with Immortal Technique and performed Frontlines

[IrishShady]

Yeah, they're bull.

and then went on to burn the stage down

[classthe_king]

I don't think the viewers would have been able to comprehend the magnitude of what was happening before them

They'd shit their pants and tweet about it, even Lady Gaga would run outta there screaming.

I know some people love Arcade Fire, but isn't this their first year even being nominated? If not, then it's only the second or third, right? Eminem has been a huge icon in music for 10 years! He literally dominated 2010. Recovery was everywhere. How does that not deserve an album of the year Grammy? Arcade Fire may be okay, but did you see them everywhere on TV? Did you hear their songs played constantly on the radio? Em deserved Album of the Year. Only good I can say is that we know he didn't expect to win, so at least he wasn't disappointed. He probably knew the Grammys would screw him over.

Totally agree with this.AOTY should go to the ones that dominated 2010 and guess what?Gaga&Eminem did that.Every pop/rock/rap/techno fan heard of them.I didnt expect Em to win AOTY ,i a;ways thought lady gaga or the other lady A would have won over him.But lets be serious,no one besides their fanbase heard of Arcade or that Esperanza girl.So yeah he got robbed,so did JB and Gaga to be honest.And this isnt even a Stan rant lol.
PS:Not my kind of music based on what they sang last night @ grammys

[AnalKiddo]

Im canadian and have not heard of them ONCE

Yo for real, I ain't ever seen then or heard of them on the news in Canada

[ShadyNarkoticz]

I'm just glad that Drake didn't win. the butthurt Drake fans were going crazy.

[Master Chief]

Never listened, but judging from their performance, they sound like they suck

This.

Another homosexual indie rock band. Some rock to me is just , personally the only Rock I like and will ever like is Linkin Park & Breaking Benjamin. Any other Rock is retarded imo.

Oh and another thing. If Song Of The Year is judged on songwriting then LTWYL easily, shits, stomps, destroys, crushes, diminishes, (add similar adjectives here) any other song nominated. Not only is it 100x more complex lyrically (obviously,...it IS Hip-Hop, where the lyricism is much more complex than other genre) but the lyrical content is very relevant, relatable and sometimes even poetic. To me, that was the biggest robbery committed towards Eminem along with the blatantly obvious AOTY.

Based off their performance last night I really didn't like them.

Last night, I went on youtube and listened to some of their songs. Honestly, I didn't like the songs I heard either.

When they were called up to get AOTY, my mouth hit the floor lol I had no clue who they were. Em was everywhere in 2010. Everytime I listented to the radio I heard him. He dominated 2010, all around. I would've rather Lady Gaga win AOTY than them, which I really can't stand Lady Gaga.

Em deserved AOTY last night. I don't know what the fuck else he has to do in order to get the props he deserves.

Who cares that Arcade Fire had a better album. Seriously, think about it.

The New England Patriots were the best team this year, yet in 10 years no one will remember the 2010 Patriots but everyone will still know the 2010 Green Bay Pakcers.

Same thing with Album of the Year. Arcade Fire might have, technically, had the best album, but in ten years, Recovery will still be talked about while The Suburbs won't be. Simple as that, the biggest and most influential albums are not necessarily the best albums.

Eminem should have won the award. It was the album of the year, everyone was talking about it, it was disgustingly huge (got to the point to which I hated it.) How is it NOT the album of the year?

The suburbs, I heard about them 2-3 weeks and then nothing else.

[Manly Moose]

You haters, Arcade Fire is great you just can't see it.
BTW, to sell less than Eminem don't mean the album is less great.

Pathetic.

I was going WTF cause I actually listened to Arcade and I can say without a doubt that they are the definition of generic alternative rock.

Isn't your logic backwards

[Tash8]

how so?

They think of album of the year, as the best. I think of it as the biggest and best. Eminem's album was huge and it was pretty good, It wasn't great like The suburbs (might be considered). But mixed with a lot of other things, Recovery comes out on top. I feel like the grammy's focused too much on what was technically better and too little on the meaning of Album of the Year.

[classthe_king]

You're saying the Patriots were the best team but The Packers won the superbowl so they will be remember.
You're also saying that Eminem had the best album but he didn't win...Arcade Fire did.

The Superbowl=Album of the Year
