Tombstone Mountain Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (snowdogged @ Aug 3 2012, 05:38 PM) QUOTE (Pound of Obscure @ Aug 3 2012, 01:53 PM) There are no songs on this album that will sniff a Grammy. There are no instrumentals so they don't even have a chance to be nominated. I think you underestimate the power and allure to having such an amazing critical success--and Geddy's fine vocal performance. Rolling Stone praised and exclusively released it. Something's up. Plus, Nick has been there done that...extremely well respected. automatic nomination. Write it down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I was going to go with No way, No how but I couldn't do it. I went with Headlong Flight. They deserve it but probably won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Mmmm...Guinness.... A fabulous tour. The Irish do plenty well, no need to apologize. A beautiful country with a rich cultural tradition. The woman stood before the Wall of Fame in Dublin's Market Bar and asked the tour guide if the reason that U2's picture was bigger than the others was because of Bono's ego? "You don't speak ill of Bono in Ireland", said the native Irish woman to the tourist. "But", she whispered, "you're right." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Of course the idea of them getting a Grammy is preposterous (well, I guess it's not too off the wall since they've been nominated several times, but only for instrumentals, of which there are none on CA). That said, in a perfect world, the song that gets nominated and wins is The Garden. It's my personal second favorite song on the album, but this is a powerful, significant song that also serves as a great career-spanning statement. It would be a worthy song to get recognized, and it is in a clockwork universe, but alas that's not the universe we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
