Like 80% of the recent BNA winners.

Esperanza Spalding over Florence. Fun over Frank Ocean. Macklemore over Kacey and Kendrick. Alessia Cara over literally everyone else nominated. Meghan Trainor over Courtney Barnett. I would’ve gone with HAIM over Sam Smith but at least Sam’s win kinda makes sense.

That being said, they’re on a 3 year streak of getting the right winner. Dua Billie and Megan all deserved!

AOTY: Blue Weekend-Wolf Alice

Radiohead not winning an AOTY trophy. I cannot believe you gave a regular Bob Dylan album, Steely Dan past their prime, and Robert Plant before Radiohead. All three albums (OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows) seems like it would be up the Grammys alley, but I guess not 🙁

 

Also, TPAB losing to 1989: you cannot compete for a bumble gum synth-pop album that is crazy successful with one of the most celebrate and awarded political states and cultural importance as TPAB.

RIP SOPHIE

Permitting genre fraud is another place they get it wrong. Yes, Rap/Sung used to be strictly for collaborations, but how do you actually allow “Don’t Phunk with My Heart” win a Rap Grammy?

naturally, the grammys have gotten a lot wrong in my opinion but lemonade losing AOTY (and a lot of other categories) really stands out

everything i wanted is one of the worst roty winner of recent years.

Beck taking alternative album against st vincent masseduction was not fair

joanne  winning best pop solo was so stupid

adele with 25 was maybe the worst decision they made

Kanye West losing AOTY to U2 in 2006

 

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy failing to receive an AOTY nomination in 2012

Nas losing Best Rap Album to Drake in 2013

Kendrick losing Best Rap Album to Macklemore in 2014 was absolutely horrid. It was so egregious it actually (rightfully) ruined Macklemore’s mainstream career

Kendrick losing AOTY to Taylor Swift in 2016 and ESPECIALLY to Bruno Mars in 2019

PREACH. Anyways, Herbie over Amy, Phil Collins over Dire Straits, Lionel Richie over literally anything else but especially Prince, Vaughn Meader’s dated-as-fuck comedy album over Ray Charles’ magnum opus, Ray Charles & Company over Kanye, U2 over Kanye, Natalie fucking Cole over R.E.M, Whitney Houston over R.E.M, Eric Clapton over U2(even though Unplugged is a good record), Dixie Chicks over JT, etc.
