Hi everyone..long time reader, first time poster! I was curious if there's a list out there of all the Stones brushes with the Grammys..I was trying to remember as many nominations and wins as I could..If I remember right:
Mixed Emotions, nominated for Best Performance by a Rock Group or Duo
Love is Strong...might have won best short form video
Voodoo Lounge won Best Rock Album, I think...
I know they won a lifetime achivement award in 1985-or 1986...

Anyone know anymore off hand? Did any of their best stuff even get nominated? Some Girls? Let it Bleed? Start Me Up? Probably not!

What was the award/nomination

*when Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) nominated them;
*when Sam Kinison (RIP) yelled his speech for the Stones??

Must be shortly after the Steel Wheels tour.

Had it on video...
