I get that “Fearless” was a big crossover album but I honestly feel like “The Fame” should’ve won. I also feel like Lady Gaga should’ve won best new artist as she absolutely dominated 2009 as a new artist.

Been binging these and finally caught up

how tf did TCG not win AOTY????

U2 had three masterpieces. Joshua Tree, Actung Baby, and All That You Can’t Leave Behind. Bomb is not even one of there top 5.

They did Usher, Kanye & Alicia dirty this year. They definitely should’ve swept this night

OK computer is one of the BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME! How mumbling Bob Dylan ever won anything is MINDBLOWING

Tori Amos was robbed Kate bush was robbed Nirvana was robbed Pearl Jam was robbed Blind melons debut album is a masterpiece Paula Cole got robbed

The Grammys were taking (very late) baby steps - this is the first year R.E.M. got nominated and they were the precursors to Alternative Rock. They had to honour them before honouring Nirvana.

most underrated youtuber

seriously impressive output dude you should be huge!

7:09 This album is a classic!!

I've really been enjoying this series so far! This year was when I really started to get into the Grammys

2:48 One of my all time favorite albums was released in 1975. Sadly the reality was that it was never ever gonna be nominated for anything. That being said Carole King, in collaboration with a soon to be legendary illustrator/children’s book author, Maurice Sendak, put together a soundtrack album for a collection of his book called Really Rosie, based on his The Nutshell Library series. In the same year that soundtrack was turned into a half hour animated special that premiered on February 19, 1975. It was a hit. Surprisingly there have been many famous people tied to Really Rosie. Dale Soules who played Frieda Berlin on Orange Is The New Black voiced Pierre/Chicken Soup. Alice Playten who voices Beebe Bluff and Elmo on the animated series Doug, voiced Alligator. In 1980 there was an off Broadway musical production of the animated special, with 12 year old actress Tisha Campbell plying Rosie. In 1987, at the Verne Fowler School of Dance and Theater Arts in Colonia, New Jersey, a young 10 year old girl, Brittney Murphy, who later in life become a huge star, until her tragic passing due to pneumonia, with secondary factors of severe iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication, at just age 32. kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_nRWUHMTHbzIKGXuI8O5YJ3vfGthg1HV5c&si=kWaFLeGOIQoqjqff

This a stacked lineup of nominations but Mariah definitely should’ve won at least 3 that night. “Crazy, Sexy, Cool” should’ve been nominated for AOTY this year.

Great video I’m loving these series. 1994 was the best year for music in the 90’s and they fumbled the bag with many of the nominations & winners. Green Day, Notorious B.I.G & Nas should’ve went home with awards that night.

En Vogue definitely should’ve taken some awards home this night. They dominated the charts in 1992 🫠

Wait a minute…. Was Micheal Jackson’s “Dangerous” album not nominated this year? I thought that was one of the biggest albums of the early 90’s

The Grammys are some haters because how was “Nevermind” not nominated for anything? They weren’t tuned into what the youth was listening to which makes them out of touch

Love these videos friend. I know they try to balance out popular artists & others but can we talk about how Janet Jackson was completely snubbed this year? The Rythmn Nation album era lasted for 2 years and had some huge hits some of which peaked at number one. I’m honestly surprised she wasn’t nominated for album of the year this year. Also not a Madonna fan but I’m surprised she went home empty handed after the success she had with the “Vogue” single in 1990.

3:57 As I mentioned, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones put out a jazz rock classic with their album Outbound. Blackalicious put Bay Area hip hop on the map with their album Nia. MTV Unplugged introduces the hot new Latin pop princess Shakira, with MTV Unplugged Shakira. The Road to El Dorado (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) shows the general music audience how amazing movie soundtracks can be.

2:08 Which is a huge shame because not only did Bela Fleck and The Flecktones come back, after 2 year off, and release what I consider to be their magnum opus, Outbound. In the Song Of The Year Category their song A Moment So Close featuring Jon Anderson of Yes, Shawn Colvin and Tuvan Throat Singing Legend Kongar-ool Ondar, should have easily been nominated over the N’sync. Hell the album won Best Contemporary Jazz Album at that show, beating out Yes, Please! By Fourplay, which featured Harvey Mason Sr., father of current Grammy Chief Executive Officer, Harvey Mason Jr. m.kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_kDxEBvzLf9uCRRLeLh6ZarFRjuiP1Nm9M

As much as I'm enjoying this series, I can wait for it to be over. Because I can only assume you'll do the VMAs next 😂 🤞

3:36 The trans woman that I am I could not overlook the Hedwig and the Angry Inch: Original Cast Recording. Being the lesbian that I am, I could not ignore the art rock classic Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie. Ben Folds 5 are back with another pop rock classic with their album The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. Sigur Ros puts out their best album, to date, Ágætis byrjun. The Flaming Lips finally hit the mainstream with their masterpiece The Soft Bulletin. And finally Moby releases his electronic music all timer, which takes a new approach to electronic dance music, Play.

2:10 Let’s not act like Christina won because she was the hot new singer. I mean she beat out one of the most talented singers of all time, Susan Tedeschi, which just makes me sad. Susan Tedeschi is one of the most underrated singers of all time. She has such a soulful voice. For me my favorite solo performance of hers has to be her performance of her song "Hurts So Bad" at Farm Aid 1999. It is what got her a best new artist Grammy nomination. There was no way she was going to win, which in my opinion is a huge shame. Besides that she also has an amazing band that she started in 2010 with her husband Derek Trucks, who is an such an amazing slide guitar player that The Almond Brothers Band asked him to go on tour with them and play Duane Allman's parts. He was also asked to play on the band's last two album. So when the raw, emotional singing of Susan Tedeschi combined with the masterful slide playing of Derek Trucks, we as music fans are treated to a rocking display of talent and soul. My favorite performance of theirs has to be their live performance of their song Bound For Glory. That song is live is so rocking and soulful i could not help but tear up when i hear it. This band should be more popular then it is. If you are a fan of blues music, like I am, then you know this band, however if you don't and are just a music fan, then i implore you to give this band and these two a listen. I am sure you will become fans of them as quickly as I did.

3:26 Again Bela Fleck and The Flecktones release a fantastic Jazz Fusion album that, even though it was not liked by some critics, gave us fantastic songs like Throwdown At The Hoedown, Communication, Big Country and Sojourn Of Arjuna. One hit wonders Semisonic prove everyone wrong with their second album Feeling Strangely Fine. Portishead release one of the best live albums of all time with Roseland NYC Live. The Coup release another indie rap classic with their album Steal This Album A revival of an old Broadway musical truly introduces one of the most talented voices to ever come out of Broadway, Kristin Chenoweth, even though she had made a small splash in 1997’s Steel Pier, with You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Also there was no way that video game soundtracks were ever going to get nominated, at this time, no matter how good they were, so there was no nominations for The Legend of Zelda The Ocarina of Time Original Soundtrack by Koji Kondo, Marvel Vs Capcom: Clash Of Heroes by Masato Koda and Yūko Takehara, Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix by Isao Abe, Yuki Iwai and Setsuo Yamamoto.

Nobody counts Yoko Ono.

I loved change the world lol

3:33 Finally the band The Muff figure it out on their third album and put out an alt rock classic, Happy Birthday to Me. Ben Folds Five put out their, cleverly written, second album Whatever and Ever Amen. The Old 97s release a country rock classic, Too Far to Care. The Prodigy bring their mix of punk rock and electronic music to the dance clubs with The Fat of the Land.

I just found this series. Great stuff!

2:33 How do you even pick a winner out of this?

3:17 Oh I can! How in the world were two absolutely groundbreaking jazz fusion albums, The Flight Of The Cosmic Hippo and UFO Tofu, by one of the best bands to ever do it, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones not nominated at all?! Flight Of The Cosmic Hippo m.kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_mf3V9KbnptkiEMBIz_rbtCsi2PjZC_5Y0 UFO Tofu m.kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_k2cmaa28EUxIpVc0hEdjLWhioQUPRo9oY

55:00 🥹🥹🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

48:55 I know she was not part of Motown, but it still makes me sad that legendary transgender R&B singer Jackie Shane never got nominated, not even for her groundbreaking song about being trans and navigating the tough world, 1967’s Any Other Way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZqnh5mfasmJppI

36:52 I have no problem with Tom Jones winning. If you seen him sing with the likes of Little Richard, Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker, you know he can hold his own alongside the rock crowd, of the time.
