The best music you may not have heard

Unlike American Idol, the Grammy Awards don’t give votes to the unwashed masses. But a Harris Interactive poll let 8- to 18-year-olds sound off about the artists and records they’d choose for prizes later this month. A plurality of the respondents said they’d vote for Mary J. Blige’s “Be Without You” as Record of the Year, while Justin Timberlake’s Future Sex/Love Sounds led for Album of the Year. (Those of us dismayed by the notion of 8-year-olds extolling an album with such a title are probably living in the wrong century.)
