Music has become so chopped up spread out over the last 10 years that it's pretty much impossible to award anyone anything for music.
Says the music industry, the man.
Grammys and Idol are more just TV entertainment productions for that audience that enjoys it.
Wow I didn't realize that bands that outsell most of the bands that play this festival like Nachtmystium and Alcest are "obscure." I also didn't realize that Dream Evil, Pagan's Mind, Orphaned Land, Rhapsody, Periphery, Symphony X, Radiohead, Magrudergrind, Wu Tang Clan, Jedi Mind Tricks, Aesop Rock, The Beastie Boys, Skrillex, Bar 9, Tiesto, Converge, Napalm Death, Nasum, The Smiths, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, U2, Tegan & Sara, Paramore, Frank Zappa, Tom Waits, The Beatles etc etc were black metal. Finally lol @ the generalized rationalization because you can't comprehend someone actually appreciating Lady Gaga. Sry that there's more to music than metal -- or specifically, symphonic "female fronted" metal.

The top 40 tracks continue to grab an even bigger share of the top 200 tracks, according to Billboard analysis of Nielsen SoundScan data. In 2010, the top 40 accounted for 43.5% of the top 200's sales, up slightly from 43.2% in 2009 and far higher than the 40.9% achieved in 2007.....What does it all mean? Well, it means the most popular songs are becoming more and more popular relative to other songs. The biggest hits are becoming even bigger....Aside from the extraordinary shares commanded by top songs in 2009, the trend has continued without a hiccup since iTunes started selling tracks in mid-2003.
I suppose you're right.. it's in such a place where, if he's doing it on purpose, it still feels strange, but it does give an odd edge to the chorus.. but how could their producer not catch that and fix it in post?? Unless I have strange magical ears or something, which I doubt.
What can I say, I like your viciousness!
I don't really see what that has to do with anything
For example, Christian and gospel music DOMINATES the charts during the holiday season, but you never see any Christian or gospel artists performing during the Grammys.
I really don't get how a skeptic such as yourself can even believe that an authority on music of some sort should even exist
With video games and movies it's different.
Back on the subject, though Iron Maiden got a Grammy for what I feel is the weakest song on the album, it's nice to see them get some recognition on a broader scale. And hey, they seem pretty darn happy with their award, so pissing all over that seems kind of disrespectful to the band.
Funny you say that, because it's actually my favorite song on the album! It's just that ONE NOTE that grabs me.. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
I just listened to it. Doesn't sound off key to me but maybe your ears are better than mine. Do you mean in every chorus or just the first time they do the chorus?
When he sings "ticket" and "ship" in the lines right after that, are those the same notes, just sung with less force?
I think I like this song.
