For recordings released during the Eligibility Year
October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008
...and the nominees for Best Surround Sound Album of the year are NOT David Gilmour's " On An Island" found in the 5 disc edition of "Live in Gdansk", don't look for No-Man's "Schoolyard Ghosts" either, Porcupine Tree's "Lightbulb Sun", nope, no "Watershed" for Opeth and not a single album from the 2nd box set release from Genesis...instead...take a breath...RINGO DID?!...the horror..go Mussorgsky...I guess...
