While rock music isn’t at the forefront of the Grammy’s these days it is still a big deal for musicians, bands, songwriters, and producers to be nominated for a Grammy, even better if they can win one. Foo Fighters lead the nominations this year, while Metallica are also up for two, while even the classic rock legends Rolling Stones made the nomination list. On top of what you see below rock and country superstar Jelly Roll is up for Best New Artist of the Year. That’s the first time in recent memory that an artist with a couple of number-one rock songs is nominated for a category outside of the normal rock music categories. See the full nominations below.
