Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance
Vorlage:Infobox award The Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance is an award presented to recording artists at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,[1] for works (songs or albums) containing quality performances in the hard rock music genre. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".[2]
The Academy recognized hard rock music artists for the first time at the 31st Grammy Awards (1989). The category was originally presented as Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental, combining two of the most popular music genres of the 1980s.[3] Jethro Tull won that award for the album Crest of a Knave, beating Metallica, which were expected to win with the album ...And Justice for All. This choice led to widespread criticism of the Academy, as journalists suggested that the music of Jethro Tull did not belong in the hard rock or heavy metal genres.[4][5] In response, the Academy created the categories Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance, separating the genres.
Living Colour was presented the first award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1990. From 1992 to 1994 the award was presented as the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal. As of 2010, the bands Foo Fighters, Living Colour, and The Smashing Pumpkins hold the record for the most wins, with two each. Americans have received the award most frequently, though it has been presented to musicians or groups originating from Australia twice, and from Armenia and the United Kingdom once. Alice in Chains holds the record for the most nominations without a win, with seven total.
