      Thumbs up 2010 Rock Album Of The Year!!!!!!!!!

      Hello all Green Day fans! If you all watched the Grammy Awards on 1-31-10, you should know that Green Day won a Grammy for the 2010 Rock Album of the Year! Their 18-song epic album won rock album of the year, rock song of the year, and the best duo performance. That's 3 Grammys! That's one less than what Taylor Swift walked out with. And this was only a follow-up to Green Day's record-breaking, award winning, 7 Grammy album American Idiot. It was #1 on the charts in 2004 for 3 straight months. This proves Green Day is da bomb.

      Rock in 2010? Surely this is a joke?

      (Yes, if Green day wins a rock grammy, you know it's dead)

      PRO TIP: Awards are a popularity contest. They have nothing to do with notions of quality.

      Yet another shining example that shows "best" always gets confused with "most profitable" in the music industry.

      I think they have at least some intelligence about it. Or:

      Well excuse me! If you are only going to insult the music I like, then why even post comments? Honestly. BTW, music cannot physically hurt you. Also, grammys prove a band's talent, yes popularity, but you know, I don't think a band wins SEVEN grammys for an album because they have no talent! That takes skill and TALENT. And some people sell millions of albums, but get low awards people. Not because of profits. BTW, Banana, thank you for being the only one who didn't put down Green Day's music.

      It might say something about talent (god that left a bad taste in my mouth), but why does it matter at all? If I think they suck it's not gonna help one bit that they won some shiny awards. Just as you shouldn't take them as anything if you just enjoy the music. So where does that leave us? It *IS* a popularity contest if anything, or an award that goes to whatever band is best and being mainstream, whatever. It doesn't exactly prove how much better one artist is over another.

      The diversity of talent and taste is so big that it's absolutely ridiculous to slap an award on whatever band is currently in the spotlight and say "look, they are the best!". Nonsense I tall ya!

      And some people sell millions of albums, but get low awards people.
      And that just proves the point doesn't it? If you win some awards, great, good for you. But in the end it's not what makes you listen to the music. I don't even think bands like Guns 'N Roses, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin aaaand so on have won the same amount of grammys (not sure about all the bands though). But again, it wouldn't matter, because the amount of success would still be the same

      So I wouldn't exactly say it proves they're totally omg hax0rz awsum. Who are you gonna prove it to? The ones disliking the music still wouldn't care, and the ones liking the music would keep on listening.

      They're like achievements in WoW! Absolutely pointless in the end, but you DO have a reward that said you did it, which obviously makes you more l33t than the others... or something <_<

      Well it seems Green Day fans are few and far between here! I went to see them in Manchester last Halloween and they were brilliant. I also very much enjoyed that album.

      The only reason why I replied to this thread because your so called proof to why Green Day is "da bomb" absurd. Number one on the charts just means they sold more albums. How could that NOT be about money? Name one multi-grammy winner that didn't sell millions that year, and I'll take back what I said.

      Sure they have talent, or they wouldn't be in the music industry. They have a talent of making catchy songs with hooks that are easy to remember. There are other people who do things like this, and they make songs for commercial advertisements on tv. Sometimes commercials don't have regular jingles to them. Sometimes they have regular music. Most of the time this music is the same kind that has sold millions of records.

      Why would someone who's sole purpose is to make someone buy a product replace a catchy jingle, with a catchy song? Because they already have you. And theres really no difference between the two.

      edit:
      Spoiler for proof of "talent":

      To be fair, 21st Century Breakdown didn't have very many hooks (aside from Know Your Enemy and 21 Guns).

      Green Day writes rock to an obvious and predictable formula to make money and sell those albums. I regard that as poprock, regardless how incorrect that may be.

      So, I listen to bands that no one's ever heard about, and a few that people have heard of but aren't the biggest. I like A Skylit Drive (posthardcore), Closure in Moscow (progressive rock), The Smashing Pumpkins (kind of their own unique brand of alternative), Doves (British alternative), and Steve Vai (instrumental music). That's not to say that my musical taste is superior to anyone's, but just that I listen to music that, even in today's overly unoriginal soundscape, IS original.

      Yeah! Because I've never listened to music that I now find embarrassing when I was younger.

      Because we are entitled to our opinions. I could very much say they suck in this thread because it's my opinion. You posted yours, and we can post ours. If you didn't want us to you should've said something.

      Oh yes it can. Us chorus students (and anyone with a musical ear) are hurt by horrible singing all. the. time.

      95% - 98% sure that was sarcasm.

      To contribute, I like Green Day a little. 21 guns is an okay song to sing, as well as the other songs of theirs that play on the radio, but other than that I wouldn't download or buy anything from them, as they are the same as everyone else I hear. Their singing is is pretty okay. It really doesn't matter what and how much they won, because the Grammy's lost almost all of my respect a few years ago when some random Blue-Grass group took home Album of the Year.

      That's because the children today haven't discovered real music. Alright, old green day is alright, I listen to it. But now most music sound the same. it's weird not to put your voice through a box. live shows aren't live, they're lip synced.
      most of the good music-mostly indie, underground, unknown, or music produced by bands before 2000- actually sounds... good. and they didnt have to use autotune, sped up guitars and mostly technology made sounds.
      While i'm still going on about technology, it's funny how classical music is more original(and a fucking lot better) then music today. AND THEY copied eachother, but at least they made an attempt to make it their own.


      Oh, and i'm not saying that all pop music is terrible shit....even though most of it is

      No bushi, it was for a great rock album. Ya know, If you don't post comments, and only insults to music I like, don't post. But have it your way. I have my opinions and you have yours, so can we be mature about it? Are we cool?
