AC/DC and Keith Urban are Aussie Grammy Contenders

Aussie rockers AC/DC and country star Keith Urban have all bagged Grammy nominations. 20091123_zaf_d20_117

AC/DC’s Black Ice will go up against the likes of U2 and Green Day for the best rock album of the year. Their single “War Machine” is also a contender for best hard rock performance.

Meanwhile Keith’s got four nominations: best male country vocal performance for “Sweet Thing,” best country album for Defying Gravity, best long form music video for Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy World Tour Live, and best country collaboration with Brad Paisley for “Start a Band.” I’ll bet he’s glad a few of those are awards Taylor Swift can’t win!

The 52nd annual Grammy Awards will be held at Los Angeles’ Staples Centre on January 31. No doubt free to air TV will screw us over with the broadcasting yet again, but I’ll be cheering them on in spirit!
