Was it back in the good old days when Jethro Tull won the first "Heavy Metal" award? Was it when Milli Vanilli was voted best new artists? Check this distinguished list of Best New Artist winners and ponder their legacies: Starland Vocal Band, Debbie Boone, Taste of Honey, Sheena Easton, Culture Club, Jody Watley, Hootie and the Blowfish, Christina Aguilera, Marvin Hamlisch, The Carpenters. If we were to use the Grammys as our barometer, then we'd have to conclude that rock has been dead for over 30 years. Which may, of course, be true. :)
