True! They loved Stevie Wonder so much, that in 1976, when Paul Simon won, he thanked Stevie Wonder for not releasing an album that year. It turned out to be prophetic, because Stevie Wonder won again the following year.

Ordinarily I'd be smacking my forehead about now, but I actually kind of love that I ended up amongst a very select few who got Bob Newhart and missed Michael Jackson.

Some of these don't even make major 'Best Albums of the Year' lists. Clearly I'm not missing anything by not paying attention to the Grammy's.

I very nearly posted a comment in anger at the fact that Purple Rain did not make the list, but then realised it was the same year as Thriller, and I am still debating which one more deserved to win

You have to love how so many influential musicians get Grammies way after their best music is behind them.

Dying always helps too.

It's incredible how bad this list is, feels almost random at times. People love to criticize the Oscars people, but they're miles ahead of the Grammy committee.

I do think the points you get each time should change, though, as beating 75% and only getting one point seems silly
