this isn't such bad news. Say You Will is a challenging adventurous rock album. By and large, the majority of the nominations were given to top 40 pop trash. look through the list - most of it's garbage.
the few exceptions were warren zevon, warren w/ springsteen, lucinda williams, emmylou harris, alison krauss, and coldplay.
don't be too disappointed FM fans - the days of the Grammy's awarding artistic merrit are long gone. it's all about cash these days - which usually means the stellar recordings are swept aside.
as far as i'm concerned, a grammy nomination usually means top ten big seller - which for the most part means - music for people with really bad taste.
