Agreed. The Grammys rejected the Stones and Bowie decades ago.

But that's when it was the older, pre-rock generation of Grammy people doing the voting.
They also snubbed The Beatles in the beginning in favor of such artists as Henry Mancini and Barbara Streisand and the like.
Look at the list of Grammy nominations and awards for the 7th annual Grammys in 1965. Lennon and McCartney were nominated for best original score for A Hard Day's Night, but the Mary Poppins soundtrack won instead.
The Beatles won for best new artist, but for record of the year, despite being nominated for I Want To Hold Your Hand, Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto won for Girl From Ipanema. The Beatles had a nomination with A Hard Day's Night for best Rock and Roll Recording, but--and I hope you're sitting down and not sipping a drink when you read this--Downtown by Petula Clark won instead. You get the idea.

Today, the Grammys are obviously being voted on by people who grew up worshiping the present old guard of Macca, Stones, and Bowie and the rest, so of course these artists will get the nod despite the fact of their best work from the prime of their respective careers having been overlooked.

I think you may be a touch delusional if you think that even today, I Wanna Hold Your Hand would beat Girl From Ipanema at the Grammies.
