I am excited about this catagory because there is a lot that can go right for music fans.  What is the best whole album of the year?  This is a great list with a lot of great choices for the music geek.

My gut says that Frank might get the nod here based but I certainly would be VERY happy if either FUN or The Black Keys walked away with the Album of the Year.  I love Mumford and Sons but felt that Babel wasn't as strong as their debut and Jack White of the White Stripes had a bit of a manic record in Blunderbuss that is all over the place. 

Then again, that could be what the GRAMMYs might be looking for.  But my pick is Channel Orange.
