Kevin Mazur/WireImage.comThe Contenders:
- Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, Foo Fighters
- These Days, Vince Gill
- River: The Joni Letters, Herbie Hancock
- Graduation, Kanye West
- Back to Black, Amy Winehouse
Our Prediction: Kanye West
West's Graduation is genuinely terrific all the way through. It has the hip, artsy sheen of a Takashi Murakami cover—for those who still care about CD covers. And it has the stuff that Grammy voters really love: memorable hooks, sweet production and the biggest one-week sales of any disc out this year. Plus, he'll totally complain if he loses.
