Were These Rock + Metal Acts Snubbed by the 2024 Grammy Nominations?
The nominations for this February's 66th Annual Grammy Awards emerged on Friday (Nov. 10), with the nominations in the rock, metal and alternative categories seeming more or less representative, as far as the big releases of 2024 go. Foo Fighters, Metallica, Paramore and Greta Van Fleet all saw nominations.
But when it comes to being a full-time rock fan and metalhead, there still were a handful of omissions that we feel should be addressed. Did you notice anything missing from the 2024 rock and metal Grammy noms?

The following releases all arrived within the eligibility period for the 2024 Grammys. This year, music released between Oct. 1, 2022, and Sept. 15, 2023, could be eligible. That was a recent change after the Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammys, had initially placed the end date a few weeks earlier.
"After listening to concerns from … the music community, we have decided to amend the end date of the previously announced eligibility period," the Recording Academy said last year. "The eligibility deadline for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards will be extended by two weeks, to Friday, Sept. 15." (via Billboard)
