My opinion of the Grammy nominations is that the music industry is changing - not as much awful pop bull that sells records and gets YouTube hits, and more quality musicianship. Or maybe I am just kidding myself. At any rate, I am glad to see such range, and hopefully we can avoid someone with a pretty voice taking 8 awards home.
My predictions/preferences (if there is only one choice, its both my preference and my prediction)
Album of the year: Babel Record of the year: Lonely Boy (me) We are young (wins) Best new artist: Alabama Shakes (me) fun. (wins) Pop Solo Performance: Call Me Maybe (wins) dont care (me) Rock Song: Madness (wins) I will wait (me) Best Rock Album: Black Keys Best Americana Album: Babel
Making progress towards higher quality music, just still a step or two behind in the cases where that progress is most evident, as has been the Grammys' tendency for a long, long time.

Not really sure I would classify some of those albums as "americana."
Does anyone know how the calendar works for the Grammy's? From what date to what date is under consideration for yearly awards?
What are the eligibility requirements? For the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards, albums must be released between Oct. 1, 2011 and Sept. 30, 2012. Recordings must be in general distribution in the United States, i.e. sales by label to a branch or recognized independent distributor, via the Internet, or mail order/retail sales for a nationally marketed product.
