Hey Guys!

Please help Guru and I fill in the rock field.

Thanks!

Some ideas for alternative album....

Grizzly Bear's "Vekamist"
Yeah Yeah Yeah's "It's Blitz"
Animal Collective's "Merriwether Post Pavillion"
Lily Allen's "The Fear" (although it should probably be in pop)
Franz Ferdinand, "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand"

In the rock categories there's gonna be some Dead Weather love. "Treat Me Like Your Mother" is the single, "Horehound" is the album.

It's gonna be a GREAT battle between Green Day and the Kings of Leon in the Rock categories. I can't choose.

As much as I love Green Day, I think Kings of Leon deserves every rock award it can get for "Use Somebody". Bring on that ROTY Grammy too.

I think Lily Allen put her album in Best Pop Album, not Alternative.

You're right, my mistake. She put her album in Pop; I was just going by another list I'd seen and not the real contender list.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs should win Alternative Album. "It's Blitz!" is amazing

I'm rooting for Grizzly Bear's "Veckatimest" to win Alternative Album.

I'd be equally happy if Animal Collective or The Yeah Yeah Yeahs take it though.

I've got to think it's the YYY's year to win best alternative album. They were nominated for their last two, but were up against pretty tough competition. This time they are the veterans, and they have taken a major popularity step up this year.

Here are the Entry Lists for whoever missed them

ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN
