Nice to see Caribou and Flying Lotus on there, didn't expect that. Good to see The Chemical Brothers and Jamie xx getting some love too. But holy shit, there's a LOT of garbage on that list.
new to the forum but figured i would jump right in - i agree that alternative album is REAL tough. i love MMJ's record... and that set at bonnaroo last year was a definite highpoint of my year. i love tame impala's record... but alabama shakes... i mean. i don't know. brittany howard is just an incredible vocalist... songwriter. i love her so much and i love sound & color so much. it's pristine... i guess i would probably give it to alabama shakes. i think that sound & color will be an album that's remembered for a lot longer than those other 4 albums... really.

Streaming-only music will now be eligible for the Grammy Awards for the first time in the awards' history, according to a press release from the Recording Academy on rule amendments for next year's 59th Grammy Awards.
The new guidelines open up the nominating field to "streaming-only" music that exists only on services with "paid subscription, full catalogue, [and] on-demand/limited download platforms."
This means that free mixtapes, Soundcloud albums, and similarly unpaid music will remain ineligible for nomination at this time.
The normal eligibility restrictions for music released between October 5, 2015, and September 30, 2016, will still apply.
The rule change comes about a month after Chance the Rapper, a champion of free and streaming-only music, threw his support behind a petition to allow streaming-only music to be considered for Grammy nomination.
Fittingly, Chance's critically acclaimed new album, "Coloring Book," which premiered on Apple Music in May and is now available on Spotify and Tidal as well, will now be eligible for nomination.
Given the universal praise around "Coloring Book" and its surprising power on the Billboard album chart (despite being streaming-only), Chance has a very good chance of nabbing a nod in one of the rap categories.
Chance even made a sly nod to the Grammy rules before releasing the album, when he rapped on Kanye West's "Ultralight Beam": "I met Kanye West, I'm never going to fail / He said let's do a good-ass job with Chance three / I hear you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy."
Chance responded to the news of his eligibility by retweeting the Grammys on the rule change and posting an exulted tweet of his own:

Boy doesn't this look familiar....Beyonce comes out with a critically acclaimed album and there that's one nominee that just seems so, so very out of place.
