The Grammy's aren't legitimate anyway. It generally rewards what is popular rather than what is good. Its all easily digestible hollywood type garbage. Basically you have to be devoid of talent and produced by the record label, anti-establishment, or just so terrible that idiotic music critics give you acclaim because your work is so non-conformist (meaning its utterly terrible).
I didn't pay attention much, but the following are some albums I think really deserved awards....
1) We Shall Overcome: The Pete Seeger Sessions --Bruce Springsteen
2) All the Roadrunning---Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler
3) Modern Times-- Bob Dylan
4) Road to Escondido- JJ Cale and Eric Clapton
I know a couple of these won in the smaller categories, but when you say "Best Album" it shouldnt be the best album that most people have heard. Plus its not like these are obscure artists, they've just got a bit more depth than the normal crap.
