trans: dream theater didn't win this year
Newsflash - they sucked before that happened. Look, even YOU have to admit that it's pretty stupid that a band that is NOT metal won the BEST METAL award? But I knew that was probably going to be the outcome as soon as I saw who else was nominated, because all you have to do is think about $ and who has the most of it, and that's who wins. Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that they decided to have a Prog category in the grammys. You know what would happen? 3 legitimate prog acts would get nominated...and Lada Gaga would get nominated, and she'd win.
We remember when a Prog band won the Best Metal Grammy

and the award is for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance - not Best Metal. You could argue that Food Fighterers are not Hard Rock but most people seem comfortable calling them that.

Yeah, sure - the whole song all the drummer does is "dum-pa-dum-pa-dum-pa" and an occasional (for dramatic effect) "padapadapada-pah!" Clearly way better....

What got me was when a Brian Wilson instrumental Mrs. O'Leary's Cow beat out Neil Peart's live drum solo for best instrumental. Although, I do think that the Brian Wilson instrumental would probably be quite popular amongst the avantsters on the site.

Which song from the album was it? Rope is really good, and Bridge Burning is decent, but neither are on the same level as On the Backs of Angels, imo.
At least the Grammy's have featured Rush nominations about five times now (for best instrumental). They've never won, but you can't argue too much when they're up against Cliffs of Dover and stuff like that.

Since when was drumming complexity the sole measure of a group's worth? I don't like either the Foo Fighters or Dream Theater, really.
Coverkill. Overkill's covers album Coverkill is the worst album I've ever tried to listen to on purpose. Kiss' Music from The Elder comes relatively close.
