At Least Evanescence Didn't Get Nominated

So Grammy nominations came out. Yawn. Lots of stuff that I don't listen to and don't understand how people do (Beyonce, Foo Fighters, Rihanna, etc.). And while there are a few nods to the "indie" world this year, I can't say that I like any of the artists involved. In fact, I pretty much despise the music of Feist and Amy Winehouse.

There, I said it.

No offense intended, as I know a lot of the folks in the indie community love these two. But man... listening to them just pains me.

Here are the nominees in the main categories I care about. As long as Daughtry wins Best Rock Album, though, I'll be a happy boy.
