Gives a Better Understanding of How and Why Award Winners...

....were chosen. The early Grammy committee was VERY biased against "modern" (ESPECIALLY) Rock and Roll music. Even the country category was not exempt from this bias. Due to this attitude, many acts which became classics were (sometimes) openly snubbed while (most) winners were usually never heard from again. This became true in the "Best New Artist" category, which one former winner (Lead Singer of Men at Work) nicknamed "The Kiss of Death". Events such as these resulted in other music awards which reflected the music fans opinion began to proliferate, plus the perception of the Grammys becoming a farce to many.For a simple yet through history of the Grammys, I highly reccomend this book.
