 Topic: Dream Theater nominated for Grammy award

I even think that DT's nominated song is better than Mastodon's Curl of the Burl. While the latter is good, it's nowhere near the best tracks on the album.

The Mars Volta won the best hard rock/metal grammy in 2009 for "Wax Simulacra." Why isn't there a grammy for Prog? |
Silly goose.....Prog can't win a grammy, only artists can win a grammy.
I hope Dream Theater wins the award, sure its not their best. But the album has been their best charting album and that is what has gotten them on the ballot and the Grammy committee attention.
I like Dream Theater

Even those kind of categories are given only based on popularity...

Like to add, I supported Jethro Tull winning over Metallica, Crest of a Knave was very close to Led Zepplin stuff, while Justice for All borded on punk

Just one example - After seeing Santana get multiple Grammys for the pop Supernatural and were ignored for far better high quality recordings, getting a grammy or even being nominated may be considered an insult and a slight on the recording nominated.
If there was a prog catagory, Asia would win all the time

I'm not a fan, nor a hater, but hats off to them all the same.  If not hats off at least a smiley beer toast or whatever the hell that is. The one thing you can count on is that if a prog artist gets an award for something it wont be for anything prog.

We can save those for real prog awards or something.

I can bet everything that the least "hard" act on the list will get the award, so it's between Foo Fighters and Sum 41. As Foo Fighters are more popular, they will win. At least they have eventually released a few enjoyable songs.

I honestly hope they win. The music they have put out over the years has been of a consistent high quality to my ears. Too bad Portnoy couldn't have been a part of this.

It'd be nice to see them win.
I might just tune in to the Grammy's this year just to see if they win it or not.
