Forgotten Artist of the Grammys
MSN had a feature of twenty or so artists that have been ignored by the Grammy Awards.
Artists such as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who, The Stones, Hendrix, Queen. I didn’t find this unusual.
In my days (the old days). Rock/Pop music was ignored on those kind of awards. The Grammy’s were reserved for mainstream music. The only awards those above could hope to achieve was in the eyes of their adoring fans or eventually The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. Of course, it wasn’t around before some of the above had passed. The two names that I found surprising were Diana Ross and Madonna. I’ve always felt they were mainstream and commercial, so the only reason I can guess they’ve been ignored was their “Divaness”.
The awards probably felt they wouldn’t come to receive the honor.
