Slipknot don't have a chance in hell. (And also, they're not very good, never were, though I do think they *invented* something. Just not something I ever liked.) (Well, actually, Korn might've invented it. But Slipknot took it to a, um, higher level. And it was something that sucked, either way.) (And even if I liked them, it doesn't matter -- they've never done well in Pazz & Jop, and they had way less visibility this year than they did, back when kids -- including my own kids, if you really wanna know -- actually used to care about them.)
As for TV On The Radio, I heard it, and didn't think it was so hot. Didn't come close to making my Top 150 list. Here's what I wrote about it (and Gang Gang Dance's album, which also didn't come close to making my 150 list, for what it's worth.):
