The Grammys: Best Hard Rock Performance

Much like the metal category, hard rock is something that the NARAS doesn’t understand to any degree. Yes, it can sometimes -* sometimes* – pick the ‘right’ bands but its choices for songs is bizarre.

Songs of betrayal, revenge and defeat in the final album by Alice In Chains
