The Kinks
The Kinks (pictured, lead singer Ray Davies) suffered a similar fate. "They were rock in an era where the Grammy voters didn't understand them." Often, the Recording Academy grants iconic but awardless bands the lifetime achievement award, which is given to about seven bands per year, says Grein. The Kinks haven't won that one, either. Grammys, The Kinks are 'Tired of Waiting for You.'
