Re: The Secret Committees<\/p>\n
Although I enjoyed the “debates” involved with picking the alternative category selections, the process was very frustrating. Everyone submits their music to every category hoping for a nomination anywhere. At the beginning, it seemed like the alternative category was the place where things were sent that people didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want in their category. Later on it seemed as if the rock category took over that role. As Jethro Tull changed things, so did Coldplay when they won the category 2 years in a row in spite of debate over their place in this category. After that, “no more Coldplay” came up often when discussing artists and their work.<\/p>\n
There were definitely other issues representative of your post. I remember age discussions about an artist I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t name when his album probably should have even won that category. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe it. And then people vote for their friends or personal motives.<\/p>\n
Although I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m always happy for my friends that win, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also happy as this becomes more and more visible.<\/p>\n
