Picked a good Megadeth song for nomination.

I'm personally glad to see Foo Fighters get some noms.

Born This Way wasn't good enough to be nominated as a whole, but I digress.

Oh and my gurl KP... you go!

Low Country Blues-Gregg Allman
Roadside Attractions-Marcia Ball
Man In Motion-Warren Haynes
The Reflection-Keb Mo
Revelator-Tedeschi Trucks Band



Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers' Rare Bird Alert was nominated for Best Bluegrass album

[Soot and Stars]

I'm personally glad to see Foo Fighters get some noms.

Born This Way wasn't good enough to be nominated as a whole, but I digress.

Oh and my gurl KP... you go!

The Foos earned that! I was glad to see them nominated too since it's their best album by far since "The Colour and the Shape"! Of course I like Adele quite a bit but I gotta give a shout out to my boy Kaaaaanye! ***: Though "All Of The Lights" is far from the song I'd pick!

With Mumford and The Decemberists getting nods this is Sootys year fo sho!

 

[Riff Raff]

I also like that Chili Peppers new album got a mention, that album is great.

 

[Groovy Man]

WoW....that whole list is pretty much hurting....

but not surprised at all....

Last time they got right things right, was when Jethro Tull won a grammy over Metallica, for best heavy metal album....

that was great!

I could care less about Gregg Allman and Jeff Beck being up for Grammys...

It's meaningless.

I'm not gonna watch two hours of shit, just for that.

^^^ Too funny!

Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen Lead Classic Rock Nominees for 2012 Grammys

PAUL MCCARTNEY, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN LEAD CLASSIC ROCK NOMINEES FOR 2012 GRAMMYS

Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen were among the relatively small group of classic rockers nominated for 2012 Grammy Awards tonight (Nov. 30). None of them were mentioned on the hour-long televised nominations program, which consisted largely of pop and country music performances.

Before we go any further, we should say that, no, Van Halen did NOT show up, as had been rumored. That’s probably for the best, they would have stuck out like a sore thumb amidst all the kiddies.

The rocker who earned the biggest nomination was guitarist extraordinaire Jeff Beck, who’s got a shot to win the Best Rock Album award for his album ‘Rock N’ Roll Party Honoring Les Paul.’ After that, the next most prestigious honor worth discussing on this particular site is probably Best Blues Album, which features no less than three members of the Allman Brothers Band competing with their various solo projects.

Then, we get into the categories that most likely won’t be presented on the live Grammy Awards show, which take place Feb. 12, 2012 on CBS. McCartney is up for ‘Best Historical Record’ (who else feels older?) for the deluxe re-issue of his ‘Band on the Run’ album, and Springsteen, Sting and a Wingless Angels record executive produced by Keith Richards all got nods in the best boxed set or limited edition packaging category.

Isn't Jeff Beck up for something every year?? I think he's related to someone there.
