Thanks for posting. The Handsome Family is a new discovery for me. They do remind me of Leonard Cohen and Calexico both of whom I greatly admire. (((George)))

I seriously  want to hate this but the combination of gorgeous girl, phenomenal guitar and catchy pop won't let me get the song out of my head.

I guess I am getting old, but I seriously do not get that crap from Lorde that won a Grammy. WTF is that? That's better than Bruno Mars or Pink?

If I had to rank those three, it would probably be 1) "Just Give Me A Reason", 2) "Royals", and 3) "Locked Out of Heaven". Royals is a solid song, definitely not crap. I would have put Just Give Me A Reason ahead of it though. Locked Out of Heaven feels like a punt from Bruno Mars to be honest.

Two things:  Different tastes, and WTF do the Grammys really mean anyway??

Pretty sure that I heard them say that Black Sabbath won a Grammy this year.  Also remember that Steely Dan won some Grammys a couple of years ago as well ... like 8 billion years after they stopped being relevant. ;)

But for the record, I really like all 3 of those songs.  When they were each fresh, I'd say Locked Out Of Heaven 1st (Saw it on SNL and was immediately blown away), Royals, then Give Me A Reason.  Now, after hearing them each 10,000 times, I'd swap Give Me A Reason into 2nd and put Royals 3rd.  Each time I hear Royals it loses something, but each time I hear Pink/Fun guy the song seems to get better.

I still think they are all good songs though.

None of those are "What I'm listening to" now though.  After seeing American Hustle, I've been in love with this song by ELO ...

Probably not a coincidence that this song draws me in from the start, especially considering the intro to one of my all-time favorite songs from my all-time favorite band ...
