Can someone explain to me how back on the block won a grammy for the album of the year in 89 and how Dangerous didn't win a single one two years later? Not to detract anything from Back on the block, but I just heard the album in it's entirety for the first time and my god, this must be one of the most generic sounding albums to ever win a grammy! Maybe that was why it won? Because it sounded so late 80's.. The songs were not bad or anything like that but imo that album just sounds extremely generic. I don't want to sound like a dangerous fanboy (which I am lol) but honestly Dangerous only won "Best Engineered Album - Non Classical" I really feel it deserved more. Dangerous was more edgier, more riskier in both themes and sound than Back on the Block. The ironic thing is if MJ would have released a Bryan Loren influenced album in late 89/early 90 with cuts like Superfly Sister, Work That Body etc, I bet he wouldn't have won a grammy even then. I also wonder why MJ didn't guest on Back On The Block?
