I was somewhat shocked and more than a little disappointed with the winners of some of these categories.  All of the artist listed are talented, but I feel like there were a few bands that maybe deserved it more than others.  Just my opinion...

Hope you guys enjoy this post and have a wonderful day!
Peace, Love, Music<3
