Who is going to win a Grammy this year? That’s been the discussion amongst hardcore music lovers like yourself since the nominations were made public last week. Everyone has an opinion about who deserves a nod from the Academy, so we decided to ask Steven Smith, executive producer and host of Fuse's NYC based Steven's Untitled Rock Show and The Sauce, for his two cents on the musical matter.

LWMB: Who should’ve been nominated this year for a Grammy?
Steven Smith: I think Fall Out Boy got shafted. They crafted an amazing pop record and pulled in some great producers. I feel they were slighted.

Who's most deserving of an award?
Kanye is definitely most deserving. He'll tell you himself. Kanye creates original music everyone can appreciate. He and Amy Winehouse. She creates un-original music that is just wonderful to listen to.

Steve Vai and Joe Satriani were both nominated for Best Rock Instrumental Performances. Who is the best shredder?
Seeing as how Steve Vai was a student of Joe Satriani, I would definitely go with Eddie Van Halen. Seriously, Steve Vai.

The Producer of the Year, Non-Classical category is an interesting one, where a few legends are up against some new manes. Who's your money on?
Timbaland. The man is a machine. He's the most innovative producer in the game. And he's huge.

Ever think of franchising your show, like Steven's Untitled Country Show, or Steven's Untitled Gospel Show?
That's a great idea. I would even go further and divide into sub genres like Steven's Untitled Skiffle Show or Stevens' Untitled Post Punk Art Techno Noise Show.

Who would you rather sit next to at the award ceremony: Amy Winehouse or Britney Spears?
Britney Spears. I'll take a caesarian scar over those teeth any day.

Can you believe Mary J. Blige received eight nominations? I don't think she can sing very well, though she has a lot of heart.
I disagree. I feel Mary J. is in a class all her own. She doesn't need to do vocal gymnastics because of her "heart," and if U2 backs her then she must be awesome. I saw her perform with them on the Vertigo Tour and she was spectacular.

JT's FutureSex/LoveSounds is our guilty Grammy pleasure. What's yours?
Anything nominated for the best packaging grammy.

If you won a Grammy, who would you thank?
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Who's gonna win in '08?
Sadly, not the American people.
