Wow, the Grammy awards are an even bigger sham than the Oscars. Then again, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering the winners are bought and paid for by the record companies.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

always been shit remember back in 89 when Jethro Tull won best metal album over Metallica - And Justice For All?

LOL, yeah, although that led to the moment a couple of years later when Metallica won for the Black Album and Lars thanked Jethro Tull for not releasing an album that year. :
