That's beyond disappointing. Not in terms of the quality of music; people are free to like what they like. But this is the Grammy's. They're supposed to be the most respected music awards show. And according to them only 7 rock albums came out last year? Every category has the same 3-4 bands in it. One album, one song, three nominations. All they did was swap out U2/Paramore/Artic Monkeys depending on the category, and Tom Petty for Jack White in the song categories.

Compare that to the country categories;

Look at that. Actual diversity. Different nominees. More than just a handful of albums released in the genre during the course of an entire year. That's just crazy, clearly.
