Rough night for the handful of ’80s college-rock vets up for Grammy Awards this year: Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, U2, Elvis Costello, David Byrne and Brian Eno, and Ministry all were shut out in their respective musical categories, losing, in nearly every case, to more current acts.
U2 was one of the night’s biggest losers; the group, which has won more Grammys — 22 total — than any band in history, was up for a trio of awards, but lost to Green Day in the Best Rock Album category (No Line on the Horizon
More results:
- In the Best Alternative Album category, both Depeche Mode’s Sounds of the Universe and Everything That Happens Will Happen Today,
the recent collaboration between David Byrne and Brian Eno, lost t French act Phoenix’s much-buzzed Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.
(Byrne and Eno did win a trophy for Best Recording Package for Everything That Happens.)
- Also, DM’s somewhat creepy clip for “Wrong” was topped in the Best Short Form Music Video category by The Black Eyed Peas’ smash “Boom Boom Pow.”
- The Pet Shop Boys’ Yes
suffered a similar fate, losing the Best Dance/Electronic Album award to the ubiquitous Lady Gaga’s The Fame.
- And Elvis Costello’s Secret, Profane & Sugarcane
was beaten by Steve Earle’s Townes
in the Best Contemporary Folk Album category.
- Finally, the only act mentioned here to not lose to a more contemporary artist was the now-defunct Ministry, whose “Señor Peligro” lost out to Judas Priest’s “Dissident Aggressor” in the Best Metal Performance category.
Here’s the full list of Grammy nominees and winners.
