In terms of TØP, I don't mind Lane Boy and Heathens! well the typical GDC response would be like "fuck them they are not even rock!". So I am not sure how you could of thought that when thats how everyone here would respond. (the one that I said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am not sure how you could of thought that when thats how everyone here would respond. (the one that I said) Haha, I meant that I knew there would always be that one person who'll say that TØP deserved it! In fairness they do, even though I wouldn't consider myself a fan. They've earned practically everything they've gotten for themselves in the last couple of years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakke Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 My issue with Twenty One Pilots is not necessarily their music, but rather the fact they are classified as a rock band. Their genre is hip hop infused alternative with some rock leanings. One could say that the Peppers are mostly funk-infused, but they are still intrinsically a rock band. Maybe my concept of rock music is narrow-minded and rather classical (Who, Queen, Rush, Pink Floyd, Stones), but I don't think we should too easily lob alternative bands together with rock acts.

Jesus of Seneca Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I love sound of silence and bang bang, they're both awesome! But I think the tie - breaker is definitely the fact that sound of silence is a cover. And I think BOTH versions are amazing, despite what anyone says, they are just two different versions. Also, I half just want Green Day to win just for the fact that pretty much everyone I know would pick Sound of Silence over Bang Bang. I don't get why literally no one I know likes them, drives me nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This list makes it seem like a no-brainer. Wow, I just realized they have an "Alt-Rock Song of the Year" AND a "Rock Song of the Year" category, and RHCP are nominated in both for the same song. Christ, why are they in alt-rock? 12 hours ago, unextraordinarygirl said: Bang Bang is the only good song on that list IMO. Sorry but Dark Necessities sucks. All RHCP songs sound the same.

Woah man, there's some class songs in there, sick love, goodbye angels, go robot, the final three tracks are all quality but yeah anyway - dark necessities is a solid rival for bang bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As amazing as Dark Necessities is, I found the rest of The Getaway unlistenable. However, Dark Necessities is one of the best songs of 2016, better than Bang Bang.

Chin for a Day Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 7 minutes ago, Jake69 said: I agree but I think are a lot of great songs on there. I think go robot is even better than dark. The record is very different than anything they ever done so I can see how some people may not like it though. It's a lot more chill and laid back than all of their albums. I dig it though. I couldn't even get through one listen of Go Robot, halfway through it annoyed the crap out of me so much I had to skip it. However, it was worth it just for Dark Necessities.

moonflower93 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 i have a feeling RHCP or Disturbed will win it. Green Day is more alternative ..... but i think Delain should have been nominated for Suckerpunch or Danse Macabre in the rock category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakke Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Personally, I'd have nominated Forever Now, but alas it ain't on the list. Green Day's epics are always underrated outside the fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unextraordinarygirl Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Whether a song is rock or alternative is kind of a moot point, because it's all rock. It"s just different genres and in my opinion pigeon-holing a song/album/band into a catagory is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tresexy101 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 When ya make a whole audience stand up at an AMA performance and give a standing ovation... the band that performed the song deserves to win best whatever genre category song blah blah blah. GD wins my vote. Also abortion... the U.S. needs to uphold roe v wade... too many handicapped fucks that take my taxpayer money so they can live on my dime with deformed heads and bodies.

blueshadows Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 This is tomorrow. Not sure where the event takes place but GD have a show tomorrow so are most probably not attending but hopefully they win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Joes Eyelids Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm wondering if they'll even show the rock song category GD is up for. The didn't even show Best Rock Album during the Grammy telecast. It makes me so sad to see rock relegated to the pre-broadcast categories. And by the way Cage The Elephant won that and dammit they should have had them perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
