I guess you could discuss that 'My Night With Grammys' nonsense on this Friday, Nov 30. My guesses: Best Album Arcade Fire? Kanye West Linkin Park Bruce Springsteen Amy Winehouse alt: Daughtry? 'Once' soundtrack? Best New Artist Daughtry Feist Taylor Swift Amy Winehouse Colbie Callay, Lily Allen, or Elliot Yamin??? Last Edited By: Gregoire 11/29/07 5:45 PM. Edited 1 time.

They failed to even give Sufjan Stevens one nomination for his Chicago album. Neon Bible by Arcade Fire is by far the best album of '07 and Amy Winehouse comes second in my book!
