| 2004, 2006, and 2009 were tough years, with respectable nominees, and there are others outside of those years, like Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Train, and Lee Ann Womack, who absolutely deserved their nominations. For the most part though, this is why the Grammy's don't get as much respect as the Oscars. They like a combination of good and popular, while the Oscars only care about what's good. |
