[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

Great link, pfd.

Maybe I'll just read about it in the papers tomorrow.


Besides we have Rick & Roll to listen to.

[Rick and Roll]

Some of those up for grammys were on the show too.

What was funny about the link was the poeple taking issue with them calling Herbie Hancock "irrelevant". It's just a joke.....

I liked the box that said "are you sure"

Since when is Polka, Rock?

I can't believe that there IS best polka category and no best art/prog rock category?

I wrote these awards off when J. Tull won the Best Heavy Metal and Alan Parsons was nominated for Best Male Vocalist for Limelight.

Just checking to see if anyone was really reading.

Thought that might get someones attention.

Yes, it is kind of pointless sometimes for the "fringe" genres that don't fit in. Hard to give them a category. But hey, at least they were recognized.

It'd be cool if you would go back and edit your post and put the winner's fonts in a different color.
