February 11, 201313 yr half the people in the categories were not full on rock, they had alternative , folk , pop rock. So the grammy's are predictable and and gave it to the black keys because not only do I think they deserve it , but the're the only rock in there. But i would of love to see the look on Dave Ghrol's face if Coldplay won, cause he hates them. lolĀ The reason they did not go is because they know they weren't going to win. Lets face it we all knew it.Ā Ā I don't agree with any of this. Coldplay was the least "rock" in the category, just as they were in 2009 when VLV won. Chris even joked about it as he accepted the award. El Camino was traditional rock and roll in every sense, it probably deserved it. (I root for CP no matter what). Dave Grohl does not hate Coldplay. Dave has a sense of humor, so does Chris, Dave has teased Coldplay in a playful manner but I think they get along. Witness The South Bank Show. I doubt anyone gets tipped off ahead of time about winning or not winning. They only seem to do that for MTV awards and People's Choice awards (to ensure the big stars come to the ceremony). To do otherwise is not honest, and while some awards are silly, they are honest.Ā Lastly, I think in all honesty that Coldplay needs to go back to their roots next album. No more pop. I know they don't like to do the same thing twice, but we need to get away from the pop and the songs with Rihanna.
February 11, 201313 yr Guys yeah maybe they didn't deserve it but we can think about MX as a pop ROCK album, a middle way... i think. so that's why the nominations were in the rock selection.Ā but what happens if the next album will be pop rock too? I just.... nOĀ About Dave Grohl, they are actually proper friends!! They know each other since 2000/2001 and there are several photos of Dave and Chris jerking around and there's even a photo in which Dave hugs Will!
February 11, 201313 yr I didn't mind that Coldplay didn't win anything, as good as Mylo was, I'm happy the Black Keys won. Was also happy that Fun won with We Are Young but was kinda disappointed when Drake won best rap album, I really thought Nas should of won in that category.
February 11, 201313 yr Here's something to think about... Did El Camino top the Billboard charts? Did El Camino sell over 8 million albums? Did El Camino go to #1 in over 30 countries? I mean I love The Black Keys but did they REALLY deserve best rock album? El Camino didnt have half as much success as Mylo Xyloto! That sounds like something a Justin Bieber fan would say after Justin Bieber loses an award.Ā Quality over sales, people. While the Grammys are largely about popularity, there is still SOME critical aspect that goes into voting.

(although I'm really weary of holding up the grammys as some sort of arbiter of quality either) Anyway, El Camino is a great album, and Lonely Boy is a great song IMHO. Coldplay have had plenty of success at the grammys, and most likely will again at some point. Relax...
February 15, 201313 yr Although Black Keys aren't new, they're the latest cool/in band, they were always going to win.
February 20, 201313 yr I'm going to post this here since it's Grammys related.Ā Coldplay Signed Shure Microphone Proceeds benefit MusiCares FoundationĀ There is no doubt that Coldplay is one of the biggest bands of our time. They brought a new sound to our world with songs like āParadise,ā āViva la Vidaā and āEvery Teardrop is a Waterfallā. Ā But even bigger than their hits are their hearts.
