I think it shows how stupid the whole Grammys/ award shows are! HAND is better than Crush & Bounce put together, an yet they received nominations.
U2 get nominations whatever they release. Their last 2 or 3 albums have been the usual bogstandard, run of the mill U2 albums and yet they they are 'cool' so it dosen't matter.
Bon Jovi have never been perceived as 'cool' so they very rarely get nominated for these things!
Also it shouldn't be about 'numbers' sold, it should be about the quality.
