To the people saying this:
"If DT weren't nominated, you'd be calling the Grammys crap."
Guess what? YOU'RE RIGHT. And, do you want to know why? Let's actually use our brains for a moment. DT has been around since 1989. Okay, their first real single was Pull Me Under, so we'll say 1992, just for the sake of argument. That's almost twenty years. Images & Words is a GROUNDBREAKING MASTERPIECE. Then, there was Awake. Another masterpiece. Then, there was A Change of Seasons, then SFAM, two more masterpieces. Any Grammy nominations there? Hmmmmm? Oh, right - NO. No, there weren't.
It took nearly TWENTY YEARS for the Grammy folks to even take notice of a band that has written some of the most amazing music of the past quarter century and, for a while, it didn't look like they were ever going to be nominated for anything. No one would have ever thought in a million years that they'd be nominated for a Grammy.
So, my point is this: yeah, it might seem "hypocritical" to be excited that they're nominated when most of us bashed the Grammys before. But, like I said, the Grammys have been a JOKE for the past ten-twenty years. Why WOULDN'T we have bashed them? Plus, maybe some of us still think they're a joke, but are just happy DT is getting SOME exposure. Ever think of that?
Oh, and they haven't won yet.
