Radiohead's In Rainbows should win album/record/Band of the year hands down! For the sake of music I hope the voting committee or whatever doesn't mess this up. Listen to any of the possible contenders and you'll agree. I will never watch again if they mess this one up!!! Radiohead are the best band on the planet.

No love for Santogold? Whether or not she has a chance of winning, i can't say, but I think she definitley deserves to be nominated.
