Loretta Lynn/ Van Lear Rose
Franz Ferdinand/ Franz Ferdinand
Wilco/ A Ghost Is Born
The Killers/ Hot Fuss
Nellie McKay/ Get Away From Me
Air/ Talkie Walkie
TV On The Radio/ Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
What Will Win: Franz Ferdinand/ Franz Ferdinand
This seems like the most popular nominee and it dosen't hurt that it's a stellar album.
What Will Win if That Dosen't: Loretta Lynn/ Van Lear Rose
Clear favorite for the grammy this year and with Jack White producing, the critics really responded well.
Dark Horse: Wilco/ A Ghost Is Born
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot didn't receive a nomination in 2002. This would be a great honor for Wilco, sice they should have won in 2002.
What Should Have Been Nominated:
The Walkmen/ Bows and Arrows
Too late:
The Arcade Fire/ Funeral
Smile/ Brian Wilson
Interpol/ Antics
Looking at their past winners, I'm tempted to say Loretta.
I think Wilco's nom was the honor, they are my #10 prediction. I don't see them getting it.
My list in order of liklihood:
1. Loretta
2. Franz
3. Nellie
4. Dizzee
5. The Streets
6. Air
7. TV on the Radio
8. Ghostface
9. The Killers
10. Wilco
Wow, TV took it. What'd ya think?
