I happened to turn it on right for the Avett/Mumford performance... have to say both bands sounded great but I don't know if I expected either of them to be on the Grammy's and I'm kind of bummed they're on there. Yeah, I'm one of those "I don't like to share my music with middle schoolers."

Mumford & Sons are pretty big so I wouldnt worry about it. Their album has been in the iTunes Top 10 for over 6 months it seems. Avetts arent too far behind them. Heard them play from the other room, both were good. Cant say the same for Dylan  ::)

Im just glad Black Keys won best alternative album and best rock song by a duo or group for Tighten Up

Janelle Monae's performance was on fire.

The Avetts and Mumfords were excellent and I thought Dylan did a good job on "Maggie's Farm", but it helped that he had an indie folk supergroup backing him up and keeping him honest.

Tom Petty. Jeff Beck. Neil Young. Pearl Jam. Muse. One of these is not like the others. One of these does not belong

I love seeing Jeff Beck, even at the Grammys. He's no backwards thinker. His music is more daring and progressive during his latter career than its ever been, although it's not for everyone.

I guess that's why Muse won then. Lowest Common Denominator

wait i'm not watching any more... so there was a category between Petty, Young, Pearl Jam, and Muse AND MUSE WON? fuck.

I hate Muse. I rather like the new Neil and Petty albums, although Grammy doesn't look too far out of the establishment box. There were many 2010 rock albums more deserving of noms.

When will Grammy get rid of some of their horribly outdated categories such as "Best Alternative Album" etc...?

Cee-lo Green didn't win song of the year? Something suspicious is afoot.

This show has been very heavy on mediocre acoustic guitars (mumford and sons included).

Bob Dylan is genius. The brass balls on that guy. He just does not care.

Tom Petty definitely should have won.

I concur that Janelle Monae is pretty great, otherwise I can't get behind nearly any of the music in this show.

Ha, I was thinking that exact thought.

Seth Rogen saying he was getting high with Miley Cyrus was pretty funny

Katy Perry attacks her lyrics as angrily as a hammer does pounding nails into a crucifix.
