The Grammys Continue Their Streak of Irrelavant Awards

Could the panel of judges at the Grammys be more irrelevant? It's like whoever is picking the nominees is still using a gramophone, and not by choice.

Every year, I decide to build up enough interest to go through the list of nominees of Hard Rock and Metal and not a single time have they managed to put together a worthwhile list. It's not that the list is unfair or anything, but a 5 year old at the mall can put together their annual list of "best-of."

Anyway, here's the nominees:
(If you were slightly surprised (by even one bit) by any names on the list, please do tell me why.)

Best Metal Performance:

• Iron Maiden, “El Dorado”
• Korn, “Let the Guilt Go”
• Lamb of God, “In Your Words”
