The Tufts Daily's Grammy Preview

The Grammy Awards have been through a lot of changes over the past decade. In an effort to become more hip, they've added categories for rap, dance, hip-hop, and even Remixer of the Year. But when the nominations for this year's awards came out in January, many felt that they were too heavily influenced by popularity. After all, did the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and 'N Sync really deserve multiple nominations? The Daily intends to explore some of this year's better nominees over the next four issues by profiling five major albums. Does Santana really deserve all those nominations? Are the Dixie Chicks truly the saviors of country? Is Macy Gray the next big thing? Are the Red Hot Chili Peppers really back at the top of their game? We begin with a peek at Santana's Supernatural, which received an incredible ten nominations, including Album, Song, and Record of the Year.
