Breaking news: Dylan, Fogerty, Neil, Bruce among nominees for 2010 Grammy Awards

Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Neil Young, Prince and Bruce Springsteen will be competing for one award -- Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance, in the 2010 Grammy Awards. Dylan and Levon Helm were also nominated for Best Americana Album. All the nominations were just announced by the Recording Academy. You can find the complete list at www.grammy.com

Finally, some nominees I'm very fond of this year...I've already picked my choice of winners from some categories

Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals:
"We Weren't Born To Follow" — Bon Jovi

Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals:
"Sea Of Heartbreak" — Rosanne Cash & Bruce Springsteen

Best Pop Vocal Album:
Funhouse — P!nk

Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance:
"Working on a Dream" -Bruce Springsteen

Best Rock Song:
"Working On A Dream" — Bruce Springsteen, songwriter (Bruce Springsteen)

Sentimental choices for me:

Hall and Oates

Tia Carrerre (She won last year but I would still like to see her get another award)

Michael J. Fox

AC-DC (over a half dozen nominations but they've never won)

Working on a Dream sucks. That was the worst song off the album and not in his top 100 IMHO. He'll likely win though, because he is liked by the writers and voters. Wish it could have been a more deserving song, but I guess the Super Bowl gave him so much exposure and that song was the "new" one, so........

Surprised Daughty isn't in there. And just what the fuck has Neil Young put out worth a shit?

I'm glad to see The Fray, Michael Buble and Death Cab for Cutie nominated. Too much Gaga and Black Eyed Peas, though.

Even if it's not his most amazing, top 100 of songs, Working on a Dream is simple, likeable & relatable...I'm just glad to have some artists to root for this year because the last couple years have really sucked. Go Bruce!!

And TOO much Taylor Swift!! She cleaned up the AMAs, now voters need to spread the love

Yeah Deano, for my dinero, THE WRESTLER is the best tune on that album. I love the boss, but I think WOAD was a pretty piss poor offering.

Loved his song in that movie.

I agree, perfect song for the movie, just like Streets of Philadelphia was - didn't much care for Secret Garden for Jerry Maguire though. But I still can't understand why people wouldn't like Working on a Dream as a song?

Oh, I don't like Working on a Dream. Vocals are very half-hearted, weak sounding. It's on purpose, but the song is already average and that didn't help.

But The Wrestler, wow. It just framed that movie.

And Streets of Philadelphia is just perfection as a song. Haunting in that movie. That song, to me, is a masterpiece.

Streets of Philadelphia is AWESOME. I really like Secret Garden too.

Don't remember Dead Man Walkin' at all from the movie of the same name...any thoughts on that one?

It's fair.

I personally think Kingdom of Days should be song of the year. Bruce missed the boat with that one. Should have pushed that song as a single. I also dig the fuck outta Outlaw Pete. It's an 8 minute operetta. Andrew was never more wrong in his review of WOAD. Outlaw Pete rocks like no other- a great story.

Kingdom of Days is the best song from the album. Outlaw Pete is great too. Surprise, Surprise and Lucky Day are up and down for me - a bit too poppy sometimes for me. Queen of the Supermarket is quite haunting... love that intro

LOL at your signature pic.

I want to see just how good Bruce is at current event songwriting. Write a song about the implosion of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the impending doom and gloom of its' fans. Man, hide the kitchen knives and scissors. It's over in Steel Town.

Maybe he can do The Streets of Pittsburgh?

lol, I got so many Pittsburgh friends from college, I've been talking shit all day - I hadn't even met any of them last time the Browns beat the fuckin Steelers!

I love Secret Garden, especially in the movie. That's back when Tom Cruise was beyond hot and not whacko -- or we didn't know he was whacko, at least. And I always remember Bruce Springsteen was so sexy in this video. This video was a win/win with both of them in it.
