with all due respect , these awards are pure popularity, do not reward quality. QOTSA should be nominated for album of the year , comeback of the year and best rock group and winning.
Jon Hopkins did it for me among this list this year, John Grant otherwise!
David Bowie for winner!
Every year this look better Roberto, Congratulation !!
bowie the best of best..
Good luck David!
David Bowie
