Dove Award Nominees Announced

You can see them here.

My own quick thoughts:

• "Meant To Live" should be Song of the Year.


• Out of the options, Group of the Year should be Switchfoot.


• Same for Artist of the Year.


• Producer of the Year should be Aaron Sprinkle, but he's not on the list.


• Give "Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year" to "Show You Love" by Jars of Clay. I like "Never Alone" by Barlow Girl, but it's a complete Evanescence ripoff.


• Give Modern Rock Album of the Year to Collide by Skillet.


• Rock Album of the Year should go to "They're Only Chasing Safety" by Underoath, even though I haven't listened to it.


• Hey, this is my blog. I have the right to be arbitrary.


• Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year goes to Third Day's Wire.


• "Light Up Ahead" is a great music video, even if animated, and I wish I could learn to make them like that.

BTW, hat tip Bunnie Diehl.
