Ground control to major Dick: Justin Bieber beats Bowie for Grammy Album of the Year Nomination
David Bowie Snubbed in Favor of Justin Bieber for Grammy Album of the Year
http://ultimateclassicrock.com/grammys-david-bowie-snubbed/
The nominations for next year’s Grammy Awards have been revealed, and somehow David Bowie‘s universally praised farewell album Blackstar isn’t up for either Album of the Year or Best Rock Album.
Blackstar, which has ranked at or near the top of nearly all of the rock and alternative music industry’s year-end “best album” polls – including ours – was passed over for Album of the Year in favor of Adele‘s 25, Beyonce‘s Lemonade, Sturgill Simpson‘s A Sailor’s Guide to Earth and … Justin Bieber‘s Purpose.
Blink-182′s California, Cage the Elephant‘s Tell Me I’m Pretty, Gojira‘s Magma, Panic! At the Disco‘s Death of a Bachelor and Weezer‘s latest self-titled album all got nominated over Blackstar in the Best Rock Album category.
Bowie did get a Best Alternative Music Album nod for Blackstar, joining Bon Iver‘s 22, A Million, PJ Harvey‘s The Hope Six Demolition Project, Radiohead‘s A Moon Shaped Pool and his good friend Iggy Pop‘s Post Pop Depression.
