I'MMMA LET YOU FINISH:Apparently not having learned his lesson, Kanye West has proclaimed that the last few Grammy Albums of the Year didn't deserve the honor, including last year's winner, Taylor Swift. That said, he's at least arguably right on a couple of ones he's singled out as unworthy--Ray Charles' posthumous Genius Loves Company rather inexplicably beat out Usher's Confessions (the last album to go Diamond), American Idiot, and West's own College Dropout, a case can certainly be made for Timberlake to beat the Dixie Chicks, and River: The Joni Letters won in a strange year (Amy Winehouse won pretty much everything else, and the album nominees were pretty weak--Winehouse, Vince Gill, Foo Fighters, and Kanye).
