jukka · 7th December 2004

actually paul oakenfold and paul van dyk aren't that bad

**marcel** · 7th December 2004

basement jaxx should get both prizes. but they won't. as usual
who cares anyway. just a shame that almost everyone out there thinks dancemusic is rubbish just because they only get to hear bullocks and so on and so on blablahblah

pille'ocheoni · 7th December 2004

i pick britney

7875 · 7th December 2004

are you rubbing my dick..they really have dance catagories in the grammys?
oh..and just a predict...Usher's gonna clean up.

Sheridan · 7th December 2004

they just started them a few years ago. if my memory serves me the first winner of a grammy for a dance record was the baha men for 'who let the dogs out'. they beat out moby which I thought was hillarious.

**thembuzz** · 7th December 2004

weird. with the exception of the last four, i can't see any nominations i have any real problem with at all...

everyone take cover! reality has melted!

a veritable clash of the titans, eh?

i think moby's hilarious, too

**Daddys Girl** · 7th December 2004

who let the dogs out? - ha-ha! Anslem Douglas sang the original (and more crude) version of that song, found it quite funny that it was used to promote the rugrats movie... had no idea that it won a grammy for dance though...

djerome · 7th December 2004

'toxic' is second for me, 'slow' is #1. the thing about the britney track is anyone could've sung it. she has all the money to buy up the good tracks. but i actually think it's an unusual song for the top 40. and neither is it predictablly from the big people like timbaland or neptunes

alternative in america is anything but, nowadays. alternative since the late 90s is stuff like blues traveller, alanis morissette, etc. the radio industry has a term for this stuff, AAA for adult alternative album. on the other side of the coin, there's the noisier alternative for the kids, like korn, linkin park, limp bisqit, evanescence.

what would've been alternative like in the early 90's with nirvana or pixies is probably just called indie. stuff like white stripes, the strokes, the hives. but you would not hear a category called "indie" in the grammy's because the big record companies would have a cow.

**thembuzz** · 7th December 2004

yeah, i think the term 'alternative' now is completely impotent. it just seems to mean bland music with guitars in. preferably shot through with a beige strand of dawson's creek-sy angst

Sheridan · 7th December 2004

alternative is to rock music
as progresive is to electronic music.
