Grammy Preview 2005
From Kanye to Green Day, our guide to music's biggest night
“At last year's Grammys, Outkast's Andre 3000 rolled joints, Courtney Love misplaced her daughter and Dave Navarro fiddled with his nipple rings. And that was just backstage! We can't predict what hilarious celebrity antics we'll see on February 13th at Los Angeles' Staples Center, but we can speculate on who may (or may not) be taking the trophies. Will it be Kanye, Alicia Keys or Green Day who walks away with the most gold? Rolling Stone has assembled an eclectic panel of prognosticators -- including Grammy nominees, tastemakers and one talking dog -- to dish on eleven major categories. We also hit up oddsmaker John Avello, of Las Vegas' Bally's casino, to find out where the smart money is going. Finally, we scrapped it all and delivered our own picks........”
“Album of the Year
Ray Charles and Friends Genius Loves Company
Kanye West The College Dropout
Alicia Keys The Diary of Alicia Keys
Green Day American Idiot
Usher Confessions........
Joe Perry: Based purely on the strength of his career - Ray Charles. That means a lot in my book. But that Green Day record is pretty powerful. They transcended the trend........”
“Best Rock Album
Elvis Costello and the Imposters The Delivery Man
Hoobastank The Reason
The Killers Hot Fuss
Velvet Revolver Contraband
Green Day American Idiot........
Joe Perry: The fact that Velvet Revolver even got a record out is an admirable feat. But Green Day outdid themselves on American Idiot........”
