		Probably the most ubiquitous complaint against prizes like the Grammys (and the Oscars and the Pulitzers) is that they sully the arts, reducing them to sports-style contests with winners and losers.
		Recent Grammys have radically scaled back the number of prizes presented and put the emphasis on live performances, transforming the awards ceremony into something more like a variety show.
		Legend is classic Grammy bait: He's young, comfortingly old-fashioned, and he plays piano, the dowdy instrument that signals authenticity to so many Grammy voters.

		Great White's heyday was more than a decade ago, but the hard rock outfit continued to plug away in clubs as it approached its 20th anniversary.
		The band was part of a fertile southern California hard rock scene in the late 1980s.
		The grunge rock scene of the early 1990s swept bands like Great White aside, and the band shifted from label to label trying to make a dent.

	The Rogovoy Report
		But having performed Jethro Tull music with orchestra as a solo artist, Anderson was happy to agree to the stipulations placed on next week’s Tanglewood gig, even though the band itself had never done this sort of thing before and in spite of the fact that Anderson views the rock band-with-orchestra format as “folly.”
		Rock musicians, most of them are deaf and they don’t realize how loud they’re playing.
		When I told him it would be best done on nylon-string, classical guitar, he said, ‘But I don’t play nylon-string guitar.’ He was upset with the idea that he would have to relearn all these songs.

		The Grammys opened with a Madonna video montage and the Lady herself getting down to "Music." Buffer than ever, she removed her jacket to reveal a fl tank top with the words "Material Girl" printed on it.
		But my personal favorite performance was Jill Scott, Moby and Blue Man Group doing Moby's "Natural Blues." The performance encompassed the power and expanse of "music" – however you define it – and made music something you feel and partake in, not something you simply observe.
		Because rock and roll is not the moneymaker that pop is, all rock awards were given the back seat.

		On their early albums, Los Lobos effectively combined their Hispanic roots with rock; on this exotic, percussive and experimental album, which is as much a triumph for co-producer Mitchell Froom as it is for the band, they have created a new, distinctive sound.
		Her first album was studded with talented session men, but Crow's second release found her handling multi-instrumental chores with an ease that established her as a renaissance woman to be reckoned with.

		The Grammys, for those who have been living under a rock for the past fifty years, honor the best and brightest in the music industry.
		Also, for the third consecutive year, there is no category for Best Female Rock Performance, although I would imagine there's no shortage of female rockers capable of being nominated (even if you include just the old guard-Bonnie Raitt and Sinead O' Connor are still rockin', and I think Pink qualifies as a rocker, too!).
		Grammy voters love Bob Dylan, his song has some hipster cred (it was in a freakin' iPod commercial), and his latest album sold over a million copies in a weak sales environment AND was inexplicably looked over for Album of the Year.

	Van Halen Summary
		By 1980, Van Halen was perhaps the world's most successful and influential hard rock band (a legacy the band sustained throughout their career; in 2000, VH1 cited Van Halen as #7 on their list, "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock").
		The sound of pop and hard rock coming together created a new genre that was invented by the Hagar-era of Van Halen, "hair metal." Numerous bands and clones would come and go during this time, each featuring the same types of sounds, songs and music videos.
		Many beginning hard rock and heavy metal bands of the era have testified that, when trying out new guitarists, being able to cover the song was often the audition criteria asked of the guitarist.

		Awards: Core and Purple received Recording Industry Association of America triple-platinum certification; Grammy Award for best hard rock performance with vocal, 1993, for "Plush"; American Music awards for favorite new pop/rock artist and favorite new heavy
		The group is often pejoratively lumped together with Seattle grunge rock success stories like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, but in reality all are part of a wave of new bands whose roots lie in a bizarre allegiance to both the power-chord arena rock of the 1970s and a modern-day punk rock aesthetic.
		Reviewing it for Entertainment Weekly, David Browne called it "rock and roll utterly without roots or, despite the pseudo-underground sheen, a real, defined sense of time or place." People writer Tony Sinclair made the usual Pearl Jam comparison and also likened STP to a sort of modern-day Grand Funk Railroad.
