Grammy Awards 2008

I'm not one to make a big deal out of the Grammy Awards, as it's usually honouring mainstream stereotypes, but there were a few winners worth mentioning...

Foo Fighters picked up best rock album for Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace beating Springsteen’s Magic. Bruce did get best song, and solo rock vocal for Radio Nowhere.

The White Stripes got best alternative album and rock group vocal performance for the great Icky Thump.

The Chemical Brothers beat LCD Soundsystem for We Are The Night.

Feist missed out, mainly to Amy Winehouse, who won five awards. She appeared by video link to accept. In a ceremony heavy with R&B, Kanye West was the most successful male artist winning four awards. But the big winner was Herbie Hancock who took the prestigious record of the year.
