3. 1973 and 1959 are acceptable choices.

4. I certainly disagree with some of your "Barf Signs"
Stan Getz---The Girl from Ipanama
Tony Bennett---I left my heart...

But Of Course I also think Carol King is a Hack along with "It's to late" (with it's dime-store sax solo) PLus U2 is double barf so maybe it equals out...

7. There have been some bizarre choices over the years.....
...Like when Jethro Tull won for best Hard rock/Heavy Metal group.

8. yeah, i think this is proof that the grammys are a sham
theres only a few that i'd actually even deem listenable, let alone recordings of the year...props go out to simon and garfunkle and paul simon, nora jones and coldplay, cuz they're relatively decent...graceland kicks a polar bears ass...a couple others are ok, that is all
