It's good for U2, really.
But it makes me wonder why U2 got 5 Grammy's and The Rolling Stones got 0.
A Bigger Bang is cool. It has all kinds of songs. Rock, blues, raggea-style, ballads. It's allot of new stuff but it's still very "Stones". U2's album is just more and more of the same stuff they've been realeasing for the past 10 years.
But really, you can't take an award show seriously when they give Grammy's to Kelly Clarkson and A Bigger Bang gets merely a nomination.
I think the Grammy's are funny, they're so American. They like Kelly Clarkson because:
She's a Christian. "First of all I'd like to thank God, and Jezus". She actually said it.
It's typical American rock, it has the musical aspects of rock in a way but it's very decent. There's no foul language, naked bodyparts, drugs, alcohol, nothing. The lyrics are not daring at all. Regular "I love you" and "he broke up with me, and now I'm sad" songs. All the musical instruments are made with a synthesizer.
She sings songs like God Bless The USA.
...
No really, she did. Look up the lyrics.
All in all, a great example for American kids.
Pff...
