Oh, the irony of Jeff winning a Grammy for art after what he said in the Pearl Jam Twenty movie about what Eddie said after winning the Grammy for Spin The Black Circle.
Eddie won as well
Yes, but Jeff said in the movie that winning an award for art is ridiculous.
As long as they're making albums they're going to be eligible for nominations and possibly win
I understand that. All I was doing was pointing out the irony.
Apart from their music there has never been a band that has put so much skill & effort in to their artwork & packaging. The grammys are a waste of space & that reflects the so called music industry & we are so happy that PJ have never been a part of it cause there definitely wouldn't of been the longevity they have had if they conformed to the mainstream. Music on Lightning Bolt isn't bad either

As much as I don't give a fuck about the Grammys it's cool they got recognized for still caring about the artwork and packaging music is presented in nowadays. Congrats.
an award for packaging?
I would understand if it was for album artwork but .... packaging?
That acceptance speech was longer than I expected. Still, good for those guys!
I still think it looks like a dalek.
It IS for the artwork/design. The award has been around since the very first Grammys. It used to be called Best Album Cover. They expanded it to include the entire packaging in the 70's.
Good for them, congrats to Don Pendleton, Jeff, and Ed Jerome!

Look at all this teen angst! Arent we all supposed to be 30 and 40 something?? How can you hate the Grammys but think of the rock Hall of Fame as some kind of honor? They're no different.
I'll always applaud good artists getting recognition for their art. Congrats.
Guess some of you have never heard of Tool, or Radiohead or countless other bands with fantastic art direction. Oh well. It's always cool when PJ wins something.
What the fuck? There was absolutely nothing special about that packaging at all. Have other bands started releasing albums in paper bags recently?
If you have the LP it is pretty sweet. Different feel to it and the cutouts and all...

They seem a bit different to me. The Hall of Fame is supposed to recognize a body of work overtime, regardless (for the most part) of sales. The Grammys are about what is hip and popular that year. Look at the nominees list. This is the best music of the year? C'mon. The Grammys have their place in terms of celebrating music and allowing the elite to have a big party but the HOF does seem to be a bit more reputable.
The HOF is just as bad as the Grammys. Just ask yourself why Stevie Ray Vaughn is still not in the HOF, or why it took Heart, and other female acts so long. It's all politics and they all play them.

I am not sure what this means anymore. I mean Tenacious D won for best "metal" performance and it was a cover song at that! Pretty sure they got that wrong....

Winning a Grammy means nothing in the grand scheme of things. How does one "judge" art? Just what Jeff said.
We know how PJ feels about the Grammys, so why does everyone else place value in them?
