I appreciate the songs of the '40s now more than I used to, they knew how to write melodies, harmonies, etc.. and could actually play their instruments. It all sounds dated now - mostly because of crude production techniques - but I certainly do appreciate it. The '50s - not so much.

I didn't watch the Grammys, but I know of Nora Jones and I appreciate her work, it kinda puts me to sleep, but she's the closest thing to actual songwriting goin' today. Can you tell the difference between her and say oh, Kanye West? People like Kanye West should not be getting any awards. He shouldn't even be recorded. He is a waste of time.

Kanye West's hiphop so he doesn't even register in my sphere of listening pleasures.

I'm totally a rock chick.
No rap cr@p for me.
Rap artists & Russell Simmons wouldve been thrilled to kill off modern day Rock/Alternative/Brit Pop.

Nora Jones is lovely, but only appropriate when I want to relax and be lulled to sleep.

And not only do I like modern day rock/alt, I'e always appreciated older music such as from Chuck Berry to Louis Armstrong to Glenn Miller.
