 | Graceland is the youngest of all and just ready to be included after 25 years. Did they wait for it? Anyway, some great names. |

 | Yes, going through the list that was my first thought too Klausi. I can´t believe it took so long for ´Déjà Vu´ to become a nominee. |

 | Oh :-(
I think that really reduces the chance of a Grammy nomination for SBOSW.
Thats sad. Active (recording and touring and exploring new music) artists like Paul should be nominated for what they are doing today, not for what they have done 25-40 years ago. |

 | I cannot agree Bodo. The induction was for a song ,which has to be at least 25 years Old and not an album. I still think SBOSW has a very good chance of pickimg up a Grammy nomination! |

| i wonder - a long shot - given the promotion and marketing, and possible tour - if Graceland has a shot at charting next year?? that would be something. |

| "Preserve your memories, they are all that`s left you".
I guess this really is not true for Paul Simon. "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", one of the best German daily newspapers wrote (translated):
"At 30 he could have retired. His songs were played in supermarkets etc.
But he...
All what the Beatles could do together, he could do alone. And when they and he went solo, he beated them easily.
Since 45 years he is without any comeback. He doesn`t need. He is and was always there".

| Oops! Yes I realized that just after I posted it but it was too late to delete the post! My apologies. But still think Paul is in with a good chance for a Grammy. Not that I am biased! |
