Specially, what are your opinions on the nominees and winners through out the history of the Rock/Alternative field?

Rock Album
Alternative Music Album
Rock Song
Metal Performance
Rock Performance

Past ones: Rock Performance by a Duo or Group, Female Rock Vocal Performance, Male Rock Vocal Performance, Hard Rock Performance, etc. Thoughts?

I think Fiona should have won Female Rock Vocal for “Paper Bag” in 2000 over the live version of “There Goes the Neighborhood”.

The new Rock commitee is the best thing that happened!

In the past nominees were almost the same every year.
