So if this category of music is still being dominated by Tom Petty and Neal Young, and Jeff Beck and the new entrants to the field are Pearl Jam and Muse there is something wrong with the category.
I mean Pearl Jam's new album was okay but certainly not nomination worthy. It was another album in great body of work but not outstanding.
So if these are the best rock albums why does this category exist.
Or best Rock Solo performance
Clapton, MaCartney, Plant and Young? Is this nominees for lifetime achievement?
Then the bands aren't even consistant with what categories they are in. Rock performance duo or group. Aracade Fire and the Black Keys are nominated. This makes sense by then why are they an Alternative act when the nominees are for best Album.
The only time Alternative music existed was at the end of the Hair Band Rock era when Alternative was an alternative and really was a different genre. Now alternative music is rock music. So merge the two together.
