  1. Awards aren’t for the masses since most of what is popular is shit. If you truly want to add some musical objectivity in the grammys Rap would never win any awards and all the artists of the year would be modern classical music composers.

  2. Shocking win for me is 1991’s winner Unforgettable: Natalie Cole. Elevator music winning in 1991? Reminded me the Grammy Academy is dopier than I thought. I have since trusted the VMAs to be more valid.

  3. Gkmc: One of the debut album ever. Critical acclaim yes. Most hip-hop fans fav yes. But no

    TPAB for Aoty : one of the Most critically acclaimed album of all time but Not commercial enough to win.

    Damn for Aoty : Widespread Acclaimed and one Of the best selling album of the year. Every track was on hot 100 including No. 1 &4. But still?

    At this point how can Kendrick win Aoty. There’s no way he’s winning ever.?

  4. i do hate taylor swift whenever she is won awards, cuz her music is only talking about shady of someone else that makes her sort of perfection and also she have not boobs and ass

  5. I must be the only one that thought 1989 deserved it over TPOB. Yet knows for sure DAMN deserved over 24k Magic.

  6. This just proves that The Grammys don’t matter in any way and voters clearly lack any decent taste in music. I’m still annoyed that Steely Dan (an arguably unpopular band) won any grammys let alone AOTY.

  7. These albums prove that whoever picked these winners are 50 year old guys who like soft shit or masturbate to album covers and pick the winner after they finish.
