They give out more of these than the dope corner boys sling on The Wire. For example, here is a sampling of the rock and roll/ alternative genre's awards:
- Alternative Music Album: "Icky Thump," The White Stripes.
- Rock Album: "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace," Foo Fighters.
- Rock Song: "Radio Nowhere,"Bruce Springsteen, songwriter (Bruce Springsteen).
- Solo Rock Vocal Performance: "Radio Nowhere," Bruce Springsteen.
- Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals: "Icky Thump," The White Stripes.
- Hard Rock Performance: "The Pretender," Foo Fighters.
- Metal Performance: "Final Six," Slayer.
- Rock Instrumental Performance: "Once Upon a Time in The West," Bruce Springsteen.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of most of those Bands/ Songs, it just seems to me that perhaps they've diluted the awards experience a bit. And if Slayer doesn't win Metal every year, then I'm guessing perhaps Megadeth or Pantera does. Maybe Fantasy Sports can help us figure this out. I can unequivocally say that Slayer was robbed for the Musical Album for Children category, which went to The Muppets for "A Green and Red Christmas". I'm afraid Slayer is becoming the Susan Lucci of this category.
Another notable win:- Comedy Album: "The Distant Future," Flight of the Conchords
And yes, that is for you Matt S. See, if I know you read my crap, I'll throw you a bone. (sort of like how I "threw" you out of my house yesterday.)

He was in Wu-Tang right?
Well I can't in good faith let you contribute if you're going to have attitude or 'tude as the kids are calling it.
I don't want to live in a world where I fear you throwing me down the stairs next time I'm at your house.
