53rd Annual Grammys announced

So the Grammy nominations for 2011 have gone up. (What’s that sound? Oh, right: the collective sigh of thousands of dance-music fans as they shrug their shoulders in jaded resignation.) No, the Grammys will never be much of a reflection of dance-music culture in all its complexity; the “underground,” by and large, doesn’t figure anywhere into the Grammys’ accounting. Still, the nominations always provide an instructive look at what the suits in Hollywood and New York consider groundbreaking (or at least bankable).

Read on for the nominations in electronic/dance music.

Best Dance Recording

Goldfrapp, “Rocket” [Mute]
La Roux, “In for the Kill” [Cherrytree/Interscope/Polydoor/Big Life]
Lady Gaga, “Dance in the Dark” [Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope]
Rihanna, “Only Girl (In the World)” [Island Def Jam]
Robyn, “Dancing on My Own” [Konichiwa/Cherrytree/Interscope]

Best Electronic/Dance Album

BT, These Hopeful Machines [Nettwerk Records]
Chemical Brothers, Further [Astralwerks]
Goldfrapp, Head First [Mute]
Groove Armada, Black Light [OM Records]
La Roux, La Roux [Cherrytree/Interscope/Polydoor/Big Life]

Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical

Nadia Ali, “Fantasy (Morgan Page Remix)” [Smile In Bed]
Andy Caldwell Featuring Gram’ma Funk, “Funk Nasty (Wolfgang Gartner Remix Edit)” [Uno Recordings]
Sergio Mendes, “Orpheus (Quiet Carnival) (Funk Generation Mix)” [Concord]
Madonna, “Revolver (David Guetta‘s One Love Club Remix)” [Warner Bros.]
The Temper Trap, “Sweet Disposition (Axwell & Dirty South Remix)” [Glassnote/Columbia]

You can find the full list of nominees here.

So, what do you think? Do you feel like your tastes, or the scene in general, are represented by these nominations? What would you rather see in their place? (And I’m not talking about underground fare without even a remote chance of winning; what other semi-mainstream, or at least broadly accessible, records might conceivably have made the cut?)

Finally, what are the odds on Michael Jackson winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance?
