U2 owned Grammys again
The Grammys were supposed to be dominated by Mariah Carey, but the pop diva lost out to Irish rock veterans U2, who won five awards including best rock album for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb at the US music industry’s biggest awards bash of the year. “Virtual band” Gorillaz, who won best pop collaboration by a duo or group with vocals for “Feel Good Inc.,” kicked off the broadcast by sharing the stage with Madonna.
The rapper-producer Kanye West also emerged triumphant, winning three Grammys, including best rap album and best rap song. American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson won two Grammys, including best pop vocal album. British hopes were satisfied in the dance music categories, where the Chemical Brothers picked up the best dance recording and best electronic/ dance album awards.

Hate to say it as I am a big U2 fan, but I was dissapointed by this disc – seemed weak on quality with only a few really listenable tracks
Is it just me, or did others feel the same
wow, this is pretty much the biggest bunch of bullshit ever .. i mean “This Love, Maroon 5″ … welcome to 2002 and u2 with a subpar album winning all this … wow, just wow
thought this should be working.
