No, The Doors never won a grammy because The Grammy didn't have a "rock" category in the 60's.

And I only claim to tell why that some of the people who was on that "artist who didn't win a grammy" list didn't win a grammy.

Who will never get a grammy?
Jessica Simpson

Who will eventually get a grammy?
Björk

Does your fave have a grammy?
Yes

Do you think a grammy award is imporant in an artists career?
Its important, but are overrated.

There were plenty of rock artists who won grammy even when there was no category to make it easier for them- there was album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, best new artist, many categories for pop (popular) music etc. so its a very lame excuse of why they snubbed many exceptional albums which are now seen as the greatests. (Im obviously not talking only about The doors)

There were many more glarring omissions when rock category existed.

Many albums that never won a Grammy and werent even nominated were recently inducted into Grammy Hall Of Fame and many of those who did win are now long forgotten. I will leave it at that. Grammys always were about prestige. But prestige and the best music not always meet at the right time. Thats why are Grammys so much hit and miss.

No rock band in the 60's won "Record Of Year."

The only "rock band" in the 60's who won album of the year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist was The Beatles and I don't think they even rock, I put them in pop.


The Doors never made pop music to be in the pop category.

Yes they had 2 #1 hits but that don't make it pop.

Who knows. I might get one before Katy

Katy Perry will NEVER get a Grammy.

A Grammy winner pushes the boundaries, to be the very best and at the very highest echelon of that year. Katy plays it far too safe in just about every way.

That being said...Grammies aren't important. Until the nomination and winning process is transparent and has some kind of music-listener input, it's really the decision of a few and not the decision that reflects us all.

No matter how you look at it, a rock album of exceptional quality had every right to be nominated or win AOTY or every other major category award anyway, so the way they were snubbing all those legendary artists and albums for many years is inexcusable.

Im done with this topic.

But most album that won a grammy for album of the year is on somebody (like Rolling Stones, Billboard, etc) Greatest album of all-time list .

Who will never get a grammy? Ke$ha.
Who will eventually get a grammy? Katy Perry.
Does your fave have a grammy? Yes.
Do you think a grammy award is imporant in an artists career? Yes & No.

You brought this up, so I have a few stats for you. For example lets compare the Grammy AOTY winners and nominees with Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. You are talking a lot about the 60s, so lets start with them.

Rolling Stones list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time includes 126 albums from the 60s from all genres.
For Album of The Year Grammy Award was nominated 52 albums with 10 winners.

How many of those 10 winners of AOTY made the Rolling Stone list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time?

The answer is 2:
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto

How many of those 52 AOTY nominees is among those 126 albums from the 60s that made the Rolling Stone list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time?

The answer is only 4 (plus the 2 winners):
Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends
Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music
The Beatles - Help
The Beatles - Revolver

The results arent much better with other decades.

Im not saying that those AOTY Grammy winners and nominees are bad albums. Im just saying that both, Grammys and RS were trying to honor the best, most exceptional albums of the time and you would expect more similarities. Rolling Stone just had the advance of time when they made their list.
