And the Grammy goes to...

Okay. Who watched the Grammy's on Sunday? Did anyone you like win? Yeah. Me either. Amy Winehouse? Are they kidding me? Seriously. Who votes for this stuff? A few good performances (hallelujah for TiVo!) but that's about it. Even some of those had to be evicted.

Each year I find that less and less of the music I listen to is featured on the Grammy's and few if any artists I like are nominated. When did this happen? Did I just get old? Or are people just crazy? Am I completely deluded by what I think is good? Is it really not good? Actually, I already know the answer. My music taste rocks! If I do say so myself...oh yeah, I just did.

And hey, it's not like I've pigeonholed myself into one type of music. I really do have a variety of taste. Let's take a peek at my Current Faves playlist on my iPod...this is in no particular order...and you're not allowed to mock...

  • Switchfoot
  • Backstreet Boys
  • Mandy Moore
  • Matt Nathanson
  • Coldplay
  • Goo Goo Dolls
  • Lifehouse
  • The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (yes, it's a real band)
  • Daughtry
  • Third Day
  • Matchbox Twenty
  • Oasis
  • U2
  • Gnarls Barkley
  • blink-182
  • Kanye West
  • Nickelback
  • Jason Mraz
  • Todd Carey
  • Snow Patrol
  • Maroon 5
  • Fall Out Boy
  • The All-American Rejects
  • Building 429
  • Bowling for Soup
  • Train

Okay. So Kanye did win, but still...very few on this list were even nominated. And I'm sorry, but how was Daughtry not nominated for Best New Artist? I just don't get it! Not that I make my listening decisions based on what the Grammy people say, but still.

Alright, I guess that's all my ranting for the moment.
