We seriously can’t wait for the Grammy Awards on Sunday. And even as we perused the batch of nominees for the upcoming ceremony, we couldn’t help but think that we could come up with some unconventional categories that truly capture how we look at today’s music scene.

Whether we’re classifying tunes based on what gets stuck in our heads, or by what sounds hot when we’re in the car, we have to be real about the fact that we’ve all got our own ways of designating our favorite tunes into the categories we see fit. That said, who are the winners in our hypothetical Grammy matchups?

Take a look through our gallery to see who’d take home golden gramophones if we’d been able to choose the categories for the music industry’s highest honors. And in the comments, see if you can come up with your own ways of classifying the music you loved this past year!
