Rock on Foo Fighters!

The Foo Fighters are the proud nominees of FIVE Grammy Awards!

Record of the Year (The Pretender)
Album of the Year
Hard Rock Performance (The Pretender)
Best Rock Song (The Pretender)
Best Rock Album


The Hard Rock Performance category cracks me up. They are up against Ozzy! Now I really can't believe that FF would bother to do a show here in Reno. But I am even more grateful...

U2 got a nod for "Windows in the Skies" for best POP Performance by a Group and for "Instant Karma" for best ROCK Performance by a Group. Very interesting. I wonder who decided that Windows was pop but Karma is rock??

Springsteen got some noms, as did Eddie Vedder for his single off the Into the Wild Soundtrack and Chris Cornell for Casino Royale. Who knew that Song from a Soundtrack would be such a killer category with two of the all time best Rock vocalists, Vedder and Cornell. Did that category used to be all about Celine Dion?

The whole list of nominees can be found here. BTW, did you know that POLKA Album is a category!?!? So is Best Album Notes!
