Thank you Apple for placing a fair value on the Grammys as a measure of music quality

I wonder why Loretta Lynn’s “Van Lear Rose” is still listed at $9.99? Was it originally $11.99?

How good was the All Across the Universe cover? I can’t stream the sample, so is it worth the 99cents?

99 cents for “Across The Universe”? I guess that’s priced about right....I had the misfortune of tuning into the Grammys for that godawful caterwauling suckfest of music butchery. Stevie Wonder’s 15 seconds of harmonica playing was probably the only bit that didn’t make me want to rip my ears out of my head. Donate to the Tsunami Relief fund, by all means, but there are better ways of doing so than by supporting bad musical performances!

Hah. Green Day’s “American Idiot” is still $9.99. So much for the “discount.”
