By Ivan Aldersen -- What a wide range of nominees in contention for this year's Best Pop Vocal Album category at the Grammys. From a new U.K. songstress to James Taylor performing "Covers."

As seen in past years, The Recording Academy tends to embrace more established acts, such as when Steely Dan won over Eminem in 2001 and Herbie Hancock one for Album of the Year last year. With that said, it could again be the year for The Eagles as many of the baby boomer Academy voters love the iconic band's latest effort, "Long Road Out of Eden."

Meanwhile, Sheryl Crow is a reliable talent and her "Detours" album did not disappoint. With a similar style to the Eagles, these two nominees could cancel each other out... or not.
