Grammy's have always ignored Rock anything heavy or metalish.

Definitely, that and Jeff Lynne with what is left of ELO was the best part of the show.

Rock and heavy metal he been dead for quite some time, especially with the rise in pop and hip hop music.

Hair Nation for a rock fix? Are you still killing the ozone with Aqua Net, too?

Tom Petty still kills it live.

Black eye peye's is not rock. WTF is this shit???

It's pure commercial radio garbage and tunes for the clueless kids who like to jump on the dancefloor with their hands in the air. (because they were told to do so....)

Couldn't find a video of Glen Campbell's I'm not gonna miss you without an Advertisement to post but what a powerful song. In the vein of Johnny Cash's version of Hurt..

Hip Hop=Music to help push the cross breeding agenda

I agree, Annie Lennox and Hoizer were the best performers of the night.

This would be very safe to say. Kids today listen to electronic and rap. Rap is the worst thing to happen to society, since breast implants.
We were all hoping rap would be a phase...but society's sheep mentality wouldn't let this happen. Nothing worse than a bunch of white suburban kids "identifying" with Snoop Dog.
20+ years and going strong. It's just a sign of the times. Idiocy is on the rise...careful out there.

Dance music is slightly better, but when LMFAO is an "artist", we all need to reevaluate the term.

And then there are your "pop divas". Don't get me started here. Hearing Christine Aguilera belt out obnoxious vocal runs every verse, if like listing to finger nails being slowly pulled across the blackboard.

Think about how little most know about music, then you understand why it's so easy to make KISS appear like a good band.

Rock didn't die, the audience did.

Best shit since the 90s, by miles.

Yes and Octane.

U2 is not Rock, but more like Pop with a guitar. Ryan Adams? Like Brian Adams?
