Don't care but The Suburbs - Arcade Fire is the best out of this list... and one of the best 5 albums of the past decade.

They can't take what's ours

Do y'all not know how much Fearless slayed? Almost every song was a hit. I don't even care for her and I KNOW she deserve that awards.

[KevinKDC]

All of these are undeserving:

Genius Loves Company - Ray Charles and Various Artists
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - U2
River: The Joni Letters - Herbie Hancock
Raising Sand - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

AF definitely deserved the award. The Suburbs is perfect AOTY material.

Anyone who voted for Outkast deserves to be permabanned.

[Quiqui4eva]

That Herbie album, followed by Fearless.

[Phoenix83]

LOL @ all the pressed Taylor stans in this thread.

Who's her fave? Or did she become a fan just now just so she could say that her fave has one?

Adele. And I'm a guy.

[Puakenikeni]

Fearless. It's not AOTY material.

waits for phoenix83 to come back talking about chart success. Which is fine except that gives justification for Taylor winning AOTY. I'll be ready for the hypocrisy though

I don't think winning the Grammy for AOTY has anything to do with chart success. I've written posts on here in the Metacritic album thread and elsewhere explaining why I think 21 is a great album from a musical and lyrical standpoint.

TBH I don't really know Taylor's music at all which is why I'm bemused at her great success in the US. Maybe she really is "all that" but I would've expected her to cross over to this side of the Atlantic if she were that worthy.

Fair enough if you don't feel that way but why insult Taylor if you don't know her music? I mean with the metacritic scores and the sales and the critical acclaim plus her being an artist that writes her own songs and helped produce the album its not like she didn't put in the work to deserve the award. I feel Adele is a great artist that works hard and I hold nothing against her. Now did I think she should win? No but she would be my #3 after Kanye and Foo Fighters so she very much is deserving much like how Taylor is deserving of winning. Honestly all of the artists are to a degree worthy. I think my personal favorite on the list would be Herbie Hancock's followed closely by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss and Taylor would be toward the bottom along with Adele. Sadly the only album I didn't like at all on the list was Arcade Fire but I get the artistry behind it so they are definitely worthy too. and I apologize for my post I know it came off rude but you've been coming into every thread posting negative comments about Taylor and its just gotten annoying but that doesn't excuse my behavior so I apologize

Looks like you went one step further.

On a side note, looking through that list, it seems to me that most of the people who voted for Arcade Fire either were Gaga fans voting out of spite or Taylor fans voting to try and protect Fearless. Very few people genuinely voted for it because they thought it was the most undeserving.

Why? Hell, I'll even overlook The Suburbs for a second, because, honestly, I also love Raising Sand and can only comprehend someone voting for it here because they haven't listened to it. Raising Sand is a genuinely good album with flawless harmony between two great singers. You can argue that In Rainbows deserved to win, but I think that both albums equally deserved it.

[conseeded]

Actually I'd change my vote to River: The Joni Letters.
Back to Black deserved that AOTY.

She was nominated the year before, the year Herbie won (and Graduation also lost).

You mean River: The Joni Letters because Raising Sand didn't face off against Back to Black

Oops. Changed it.

[CountryFriedChick]

Looking back to the year Herbie won I forgot how deep the field was with the Foo Fighters, Vince gill, Herbie, Amy, and Kanye all up for AOTY that must have been one of the toughest decisions they've ever had to make.
