1989 Grammy Awards

The first time the Grammies gave out an award for Best Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal Performance. The overwhelming favorite to win was Metallica, arguably the greatest metal rockers on the planet. But even presenter Alice Cooper could not believe his eyes when he read the name of the winner: Jethro Tull. Hello? Heavy metal? Jethro Tull vs. Metallica?

This infamous TV moment showed everyone just how clueless and out of touch the Grammy people were about heavy metal (and maybe music in general).

The next year, Metallica did win the award. In his acceptance speech, drummer Lars Ulrich said the immortal words: "We want to thank Jethro Tull for not releasing an album this year!"

Well, JT did have Toni Iommi as their lead guitarist( for about 2 weeks).

I would love to hear how that sounded.

Side A of Thick As A Brick is one of my favorite album sides, right up there with side B of Abbey Road.
