This did not take long at all. The announcement that Beck had taken out the Grammy Award for Album of the Year started the ticking of a clock that barely had time to move its arms before the inevitable happened.

There were those who tried to make light of the situation by cracking jokes.

There were those who, oddly, thought the Grammys were handed out on the basis of album sales.
did Beck’s self-titled album drop with no promo and sell 617K in three days or did I miss that
— Sam Betz (@sam_betz) February 9, 2015

Conversely, there were those who backed up the Grammy winner with a little sideways comparison.
Beck getting the album of the year Grammy nearly 20 years after Odelay and Midnite Vultures is like when Scorsese got his Oscar for Departed

But the bottom line, as with most things in life, is that – even if he didn’t actually say it – you should probably listen to Prince.

Everything would be a lot calmer and nicer if everyone just listened to Prince.
