The Grammy Awards always looked like an industry circle-jerk to me. The winners look like the people who paid for the better PR people, rather than the people who deserve to win. Someone on 4chan a decade or so ago called it the "Normie Music" award. Slayer did not win a Grammy until 2007. Anthrax never won a Grammy. The Rolling Stones never won? RADIOHEAD? I hate radiohead but even I think they deserve an award. Also the Grammy website is terrible.

That's the industry for you. Sturgill Simpson, arguably one of the best country artists out there right now, busked outside the CMAs because he wasn't invited because he's an industry outsider who holds social and political views that runs counter to stereotypical rural American values.
