…. Only a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2018) - an honorary award given by the Recording Academy to recognise lasting impact and influence

Disclaimer: I saw a post in a comments section and thought it deserved its own thread to really put into the context these awards vs the actual legacy of the musician and talent and art…….. sleep in peace monsters

This. The living proof that the Grammys do not truly reward talent, longevity, legacy, impact, songwriting and music production skills, or global significance is that Beyoncé tops the list of artists who have received the most awards lmao

I was looking at the Best New Artist category out of curiosity and it's interesting how most of the nominees didn't have longevity after that. I was shocked to see that there was almost none of the big rock bands that are considered classics now.

That’s the point. She should stop attending and submitting her work to this whole buffoonery.

I think some of it is luck too tbh and competition that year

 

Only 1 artist can win in any given category even tho many arguably deserve it

 

There will always be "snubs" because theres only 1 winner per category but that does not mean only 1 deserving artist per category

 

If u dont snub 1 artist you have to sub someone else instead

This is where my actual knowledge comes in handy because I’m a lifelong Queen fan, they were only nominated 4 times and never in the General Field. They were nominated in several now discontinued categories and they infamously lost because they were misunderstood at the time. 
 

Queen (and Freddy mostly) were consistently scrutinised for not being rock enough for hardcore rock fanatics after the death of disco, but called too rock by pop fans. Also criticised by both sides for being theatrical (sound familiar?). This is why I will die on the hill that Gaga is the spiritual successor of Freddy and not Madonna.
