Probably Dire Straights. Knopfler plays great guitar, but their songs and vocals blow.
Heartache Tonight is one of THE WORST Eagles songs ever.
The Knack- loved em. Was bummed that Doug Fieger died this past year.
Cars? Never got them.
Blues Brothers- um, great as a skit.
Cornerstone? I remember that Sultans was out when Blue Collar Man was out. Is that correct Toph? I wouldn't have given it to Cornerstone either.. Why are some of them songs and some of them albums? Candyo and Cornerstone are albums. Heartache, Sharona, and Sultans are songs. Are these mixed up?

I'd have given it to the Knack.

No clue. It was how they were nominated - i guess it could be an album or single.

Figures... Grammies always pick the wrong stuff. Weren't they the ones that gave Jethro Tull best Metal Band over Metallica or something? (Not that I like Metallica- Lars is an ass!)

I would have said "My Sharona". Wasn't The Knack somewhat credited for ending the disco era with that song?
