PA does list Miles Davis. That said, only some of Miles' output is prog.
|
|||
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

PA lists Miles Davis and Miles Davis has won a Grammy eight (8) times.

Yeah, I know Tull won. I get it. Too bad they won for what most folks would consider their 9th or 10th best album, and an album where Ian Anderson had already lost his voice.

Not only were Tull nominated but they won. That was when they beat Metallica making it the biggest upset in grammy history. As for Yes, "cinema" won for best instrumental I think in 1985(even though the album it is from 90125 was released in 83). I don't think they were ever even nominated for anything else though(not even BG)let alone won. Also, do I need to reiterate my earlier statement about Frank Zappa winning for "jazz from hell?" That was in the instrumental category which is probably most prog artists best shot at winning a grammy. The Tull thing was a fluke imo. They still aren't in the R&R HoF for crying out loud.

So, you're saying if Yes was put in the jazz category like Metheny for most of his nominations, they'd have probably won? What are the chances the Grammy voters would have even nominated any of Metheny's albums if he was considered for the rock category? I would say zero.

PAT METHENY has won a bunch (20 wins, 36 niminations)--including:
1982's Offramp, 1984's First Circle, 1987's Still Life (Talking), 1989's Letter from Home, 1993's highly acclaimed (here on PA) Secret Story, 1995's Imaginary Day, and 2005's The Way Up.

How exactly do you expect a prog album to win a Grammy when not even Pink Floyd has won one for albums like DSotM, WYWH, Animals or The Wall? The only one that was even nominated in the year it was eligible was The Wall, and that lost to Lennon's Double Fantasy. Floyd received a Grammy for the instrumental "Marooned", and 2 "Hall of Fame" awards for DSoTM in 1999 and the Wall in 2008. I guess Grammy's "Hall of Fame" awards are actually "We Admit We F*cked Up" Revisionist awards.
Yes never got a nomination in their heyday (although later songs like "Blower of a Wicked Fart" and albums like Big Generator were nominated), Genesis was never even nominated until they started playing Broadway show tunes and romantic movie melodies, and Tull was nominated once for Heavy Metal, of all things, but never for any album from the 1970s.

The grammys are just so arbitrary to me, who decides who the winners are and why should their opinion matter to me?

I think Rush won a Grammy for YYZ, let me check...
dang, it was nominated for best rock instrumental but lost to Behind My Camel by The Police....I love The Police but that doesn't make any sense, Behind My Camel is a bit of a snooze compared to YYZ.

Steven Wilson has been nominated several times (I think) but not sure he has won one.

Regarding songs, I remember Andy Summers getting one for an instrumental on Zenyotta Mondatta in the early 80s. But, there is an argument as to whether it is considered Prog. There are obvious similarities in style between Fripp and Summers, and they collaborated a lot, but here, one is generally considered Prog and the other not (all things black and white, no gray area). I think it is somewhat Proggy, so that’s why I mention it (Prog by degree perspective).

Italian avant band C.S.I. but the band to rest after they had a No.1 Album in the Italian Charts
because they thought it was against everything they stood for.
