RHCP and Gnarls Barkley were screwed

It's very sad that it turns out the Dixie Chicks are smarter than our president.

You Yanks will never understand the damage George W Bush has done to your country. To the rest of the world you have become dumb brutes. Not so long ago you were a sunbeam of hope.

What's sad is the fact that people as dumb as you are allowed to vote.

What's even sadder yet is you defend GW so he can kill people and now you just said you don't believe in democracy. That is sickening.

What's even sadder than THAT...

...the Dixie Chicks winning album of the year

Of the 5 albums up for album of the year, the Dixie Chicks's album had to be the worst. I think their political beliefs were correct, and I believe they write their own music, but how can you pick that album over the other 4? Gnarls Barkley and RHCP were clearly shafted. At least "My Humps" didn't win anything ....

Anyone who thinks the Dixie Chicks are good musicians needs to have their head examined.

Anyone who thinks George Bush is a good president owns stock in oil. Anyone who likes the Dixie Chicks is most of the whole damn world.

I love the Dixie Chicks and so do all my friends. We don't even follow politics that much. We just like to play music, and we happen to like listening to the Dixie Chicks, too. I think they were a great choice. And for all the neo-cons, NEWSFLASH: Gnarles Barkley and RHCP hate GW Bush just as much as those nice Dixie Girls.

What, now everyone who finds the Dixie Chicks irritating has to love Bush?

I think Bush is a fool, and I also think the Dixie Chicks are bubblegum pop.

Uh Oh, do I fall outside of your little market segment?

What was that song about killing Earl? With the fun little music video and all? Yep, they sure are great musicians.

Try turning off MTV and learning a little bit about real music.

The Grammy Awards disappoint me almost every year. I don't have anything against the Dixie Chicks... but please...

You say that like you actually bought the album and analyzed every song in a detailed fashion....

Why should the Dixie Chicks get credit for writing a great album... when they didn't write it?!?

False and false. The Dixie Chicks were rewarded because of their political statements. Their musical abilities have much left to be desired. Most Americans haven't bought an album of theirs and the overwhelming percentage of the world doesn't know who they are and doesn't care either.

My wife bought the album and I have definitely heard it enough to know better.

I play guitar for a living and I can honestly say those girls are the real deal. If you don't like them turn off the radio. You wingatics are acting like they killed someone.

LOL, if you don't own stock in oil you are a fool.

Do you know what the top ten most profitable companies have been for the last 10 years?

I would imagine any of you people with a lick of sense have some stock in oil.

The RHCP seem to make the same sounding, make every stupid word rhyme type of music every time. I can't believe they get the recognition they get. Gnarls Barkley is a pure example of a one hit wonder. The rest of his CD just absolutely sucks! I don't care for the Dixie Chicks music so, I don't care to comment on them, Although the short one in the group seems to have a smart ass streak in her.....

The Dixie Chicks are one of the most popular bands in the entire world. They are the highest selling female group in any genre. They sold all these albums because people like their message and the music.

I know very little about the Dixie Chicks, so I have no opinion on them either way, but one thing I do know for sure is the RHCP epitomise the word 'mediocrity'. I listen to a lot of music, and their songs do nothing for me whatsoever. Seriously, it's all so predictable and mundane, and has been for years. I just don't get it at all.

As a Brit, I probably don't get to hear all the great American bands I'd like to, but I can think of at least 30 off the top of my head who are so far in advance of RHCP, it's not even funny. My Morning Jacket, Wilco, Flaming Lips, Bright Eyes, Grandaddy, Broken Social Scene (mybe Canadian, not sure), Band of Horses, Cat Power ..... all so far in advance of RHCP in terms of songwriting, it almost defies belief. Normally, with popular bands/songs, even if I don't like it, I can see the mass appeal, but RHCP... what am I missing? I just dont get it. Bit like Adam Sandler. When has that guy 'ever' been remotely funny?
