I can’t get too outraged about Robert Plant and Alison Krauss winning the Grammy’s Album of the Year (as well as several other categories) for Raising Sand (full list of winners here. It was a very good album, and Uncle T reported that they were even better live when he saw them at ACL 2008. If Radiohead didn’t get that award, at least Coldplay didn’t either.

Radiohead captured Best Alternative Album. They gave their live performance of “15 Step” a local touch by performing it with the USC Marching Band. All I can say is, “Wow.”

Kings of Leon were also winners. The category, Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, seems odd and vague, but who cares? It’s nice to see another alt band recognized.
