Before they gave Frankie Knuckles a Grammy they would nominate things like Cindi Lauper or Cher for some dance remix they had on their new single. Actual EDM artists, even Daft Punk (before the robot helmets) were left in the cold.
Nowadays we may not like everyone nominated or winning based on our tastes, but I’ll say most of them deserve to be there. I’d rather see Skrillex win a Grammy as opposed to it going to Celine Dion for a dance tune she might have made or something like that.
Everything the Grammy’s do should be taken with a grain of salt… There was also that time when Metallica lost to Jethro Tull for best metal album or something… Big award shows are just a popularity contest anyways.
