[quote=xylyls]That's.... not even comparable. Paul McCartney and the Beatles literally REVOLUTIONIZED music. Beck is definitely not anywhere near that level.[/quote]
if someone doesn't know who Beck is I would just assume they are really young or maybe just not into music

he's been a big name for about 20 years and has [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_discography#Studio_albums]even charted well[/url] so even people who aren't savvy to alt music know him

This was a running joke, though.

in a tribe of chimpanzees there was a @collee
OT I havnt watched that in years since it focuses on whats popular and ignores all other forms of music by giving some of the "winners" their awards back stage or in a pre ceremony event which isnt televised

Do they always give awards out to things released two years beforehand?
Best R&B, Eminem's album, and several others were released in 2013

Can't tell if you're trolling or not... but Sam Smith swept all the major awards.

so that's why a basically unknown artist(Beck) won album of the year? Have you ever heard of him?

Well.. The stunt that Kanye pulled when Beck received his award lol. Also, when he went nuts during his interview at the Grammy after party makes me wonder if he's secretly worshiping Beyonce or something >.<

It was kind of expected though that Sam Smith would get almost all major awards. Was hoping Ed Sheeran to win at least one..

Is Eminem winning best rap album evidence of racism in America?

[quote=QueenLorde]Although I like Sam Smith, they should have distributed the top awards to more people.
Sia and Hozier definitely deserved one.
And I'm sad Beyonce didn't win best album but kudos to the man who did. Might listen to his album sometime later to see how good it is.[/quote]
