yeah..."Rock Island" ?...i always thought that was some private Grammy "joke"...
the guy actually had a lot of great shit, but not too much, after "Too Old To Rock 'n Roll" he should've died
The only time the award was given out it was won by Jethro Tull for their album Crest of a Knave. The result generated much controversy, as Jethro Tull was hardly considered "hard rock," let alone "metal," even by themselves.
American heavy metal group Metallica were widely expected to take home the award. The members of Jethro Tull, on the advice of their manager, did not attend the ceremony, and when presenters Alice Cooper and Lita Ford announced the winner booing could be heard from the crowd. Cooper later called the announcing "an egg on my face".
In response to the criticism they received over the award, Jethro Tull's record label took out an advertisement in Billboard magazine with a picture of a flute (part of their trademark sound) lying amid a pile of iron rebars and the line, "The flute is a heavy metal instrument."[3] Metallica also added a sticker to ...And Justice for All reading "Grammy Award LOSERS", with the word "Losers" appearing in graffiti over a scratched out "winners".[4]
When Metallica did win a Grammy in 1992 drummer Lars Ulrich referenced the previous award by facetiously "thanking" Jethro Tull for not putting out an album that year,[5] though they actually had released the album "Catfish Rising" during the eligibility period.
This incident is a popularly cited example criticize the Grammy Awards selection committee being "out of touch" with popular sentiment.[citation needed] Separate awards for Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance were introduced in 1990.
In 2007, it was named one of the 10 biggest upsets in Grammy history by Entertainment Weekly.
okay right, crest of a knave...
in my defense, Tull was so awful by this point that i tried to ignore anything referring to them...ummm...what was my point again? :)
Comments to Another Fucking Album Cover
looks like drumfucker
what's a drumfucker?
uh-oh.... GETEM!
No I want to know first, just in case this was all a misunderstanding
he meant drumfuckface, I know that guy, he is cool, we go fishing together.
I've always considered myself a dirty panty Raider... So I really respect this guy... and the LP cover he represents.
Appearantly they're a Jethro Tull cover band.
Well that about sums it up then huh...
...watching as the frilly panties run...
speaking of ending friendships:
Urkle? i ADORE Jethro Tull
...at least up until the crap Ian started putting out in the 80's...
More metal than Metallica.

Wow, mikebeez was right. urkel does know a ton about music. He isn't a wiki whore like Oranje. Thats for certain.
metallica are a bunch of crybabies
*is
Like Oranje said, there's nothing wrong with using wiki to back up something you already know.
That's a very good point, urkel. And Metallica is about as hardcore as milk at this point.
little steven is a freak
i wonder what it smells like.
Sitting on a park bench!!
Eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose.
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Hey, no rapping.
NO STAIRWAY
*points to sign*
"No stairway! Denied!"
