The Grammy Awards 1985 Bit of a random question here, but i'm curious. 1984 was no doubt one of the biggest years in music i mean... you had
Purple Rain- Prince Born In The U.S.A- Bruce Springsteen Tina Turner- Private Dancer Madonna- Like A Virgin Van Halen- 1984 Billy Idol- Rebel Yell Legend- Bob Marley The Smiths- The Smiths U2- The Unoforgettable Fire A-Ha- Hunting High And Low Stop making Sense- Talking Heads Out of The Cellar- Ratt Diamond Life- Sade
All where huge hits, and i know Lionel weas big in the 80's... but was he popular as say Prince, Bruce & Madonna?
I just find it strange he got the grammy for album of the year over Prince & Bruce... hell even Tina & cyndi got snubbed. I like Can't Slow Down but i don't think masterpiece when i hear it
So how big was Lionel? and do you think it was a silly decision giving Lionel the album of the year Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Lionel was bigger than Madonna in 84/85. PRINCE: Always and Forever

My favorite 1985 Grammy moment. As a matter of fact, my favorite Grammy moment ever!

Yeah, that was one of the biggest WTF moments of the Grammys.
I know not everything that's popular is the best, but Lionel winning over Prince and Bruce makes no sense.
It's one of many moments where the Grammys look out of touch.
This article explains it better.

I always thought the voters split and thats why Lionel won. It happens. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |
