The Grammys are never the best indication of what was important in a year in music, or even necessarily what was truly popular, but they can be useful in gauging some of the trends, styles, and sounds for a given year. This roundup of nominated songs for the 2007 Grammys -- sure to be followed by a collection of winners -- is better than most of its kind, and better than most of the Grammy albums, too, in capturing the feel of the year. Perhaps it's chronicling a year where things were getting so fractured that only the mainstream provided a consensus. 2007 Grammy Nominees is not only better than most previous Grammy comps, it's in fact better than almost any NOW comp of 2006, because it does round up all the big hits of the year onto one handy 23-track sampler. There's Gnarls Barkley's ubiquitous "Crazy," John Mayer's soulful almost-protest "Waiting on the World to Change," Justin Timberlake hamming it up on "SexyBack," Carrie Underwood's smash "Jesus Take the Wheel," James Blunt's prom-rock anthem "You're Beautiful," Daniel Powter's American Idol anthem "Bad Day," KT Tunstall's "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," best new artist Corinne Bailey Rae singing a song you didn't realize you knew, the Dixie Chicks coming back yet still "Not Ready to Make Nice," Pink striking a blow against "Stupid Girls" without many caring, Christina Aguilera tearing it up with "Ain't No Other Man," Red Hot Chili Peppers rewriting Tom Petty's "Mary Jane's Last Dance" on "Dani California," and the Black Eyed Peas irritating one and all with Fergie's lovely lady lumps. There are a few left-of-center choices, whether it's veteran Paul McCartney's lovely "Jenny Wren" or Imogen Heap (nominated for best new artist a decade after her major-label debut on Almo Sounds!), which enhance this collection and help make it a pretty good portrait of the sound of 2006 and certainly a good way to get the year's biggest songs. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine 2007 Grammy Nominees Music | List Price | $18.97 (You save $3.32) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Pop, Country, Contemporary Country, Oldies Collections | | Label | Sony BMG Music (Canada) (Disitribut | | Orig Year | 2007 | | All Time Sales Rank | 10674  | | CD Universe Part number | 7342546 | | Catalog number | 703827 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 23, 2007 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Chris Walla; Bryan Michael Cox; Steve Chrisanthou; Charles Roane; Danielle Brisebois; Steve Jordan; DJ Premiere; Aaron Johnson; Danjahandz; Imogen Heap; John Legend; John Mayer; Justin Timberlake; Keane; Leslie Lewis; Mike Flynn; Mitchell Froom; Nigel Godrich; Andy Green; Rick Rubin; Ron Fair; Timbaland; Tom Rothrock; Wayne Rodrigues; Will.I.Am; Billy Mann; Tal Herzberg; Jeff Dawson |

2007 Grammy Nominees album
$9.59 A perfect meeting of the obvious and the subtle, the coarse and the silky, the warm and the rugged. Female, country-tinged, folk-based pop, unlike the cliches, sparkles through this album. Taking bits of bluesy ache, the 70s folk rock tradition, Americana and plenty of other little nuggets of goodness, she's created a lush composite that occasionally echoes Bonnie Raitt, Jonatha Brooke, Shawn ...

2007 Grammy Nominees album
$12.65 What I did or did not do in the past is of no real consequence. However, suffice it to say I made music - albums and singles - for many years. Engaged in lot of sexual healing. Raised a family. Got drunk on far too many occasions. The time period between the first photo (young man) and the second photo (older man LOL) is about 30 years ; during this period I have experienced the normal joy and heartbreak of living but sadly it seems to me that world has become a far meaner place. We have just left the century of blood - the greatest blood letting the world has ever known. It has not stopped but continues to flow right into the 21st century. So I write no more songs of love and heartache, or about bitches, blunts, Bentleys and bullshit. I want my tracks to move you and groove you but at the same time I want those tracks to make you think; make you laugh; make you mad, make cry. But most of all make you think (while you're moving) I want it simply to help raise the consciousness of the listener to the problems of the world. My music does not offer solutions. Although I do maintain that the most profound changes will be effected not by the bullet, nor by the ballot, but by the BOYCOTT - an ECONOMIC BOYCOTT. I want my music to remind you that in war the common folk suffer and die so that the rich and greedy corporations can grow fatter. These corporations get fatter by selling the bombs, missiles, munitions, bombers and fighter planes that are used to flatten basically defenseless countries and then by gaining huge government contracts worth billions of dollars to rebuild the country that was just destroyed. They make literally TONS OF MONEY coming and going. We are talking about billions and billions of dollars. And your sons and grandsons, your sisters and brothers, your fathers, your mothers are killed and maimed in these countless wars for nothing. FOR NOTHING!!!! FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! They often gain nothing but a dirt blanket. To date nearly 4000 of our young men and women have lost their lives and 82,000 more have been wounded mentally and physically and yetthose who have never gone to ...
