'Stay With Me' is a beautiful song but NOT deserving of a Grammy. There are plenty of other artists with much better music, in my opinion at least.

Great quiz, but I have one quick question. Wouldn't the answer for "Uptown Funk" be Bruno Mars? I am aware that Mark Ronson wrote it, but this does not mean he performed it. It was Mars who sang the whole song. Just something to think about.

I'm prolly showing my age, but I'm a little sad that I'm one of only 4% that knew "This Masquerade" by George Benson. "Are we really happy, here, with this lonely game we play..." Sigh.

I thought Whitesnake, but that clearly is not a grammy winner. :-) (edit: and of course, theirs was "Here I Go Again", not "we")

Tawny Kitaen though!

I typed Derrin thinking Bobby Derrin for Mack the Knife and then thought maybe I was mixing it up with Bobby McFerrin. Turns out I was right but couldn't spell it correctly.

The fact that Leave the Door Open won makes me oddly angry. I typically don’t have strong opinions on music, but I absolutely hate that song. I can’t even explain why but I cringe every time I hear it.

Yes. Since Lady A is now accepted for Lady Antebellum, I was going to suggest that The Chicks should be accepted for the Dixie Chicks.

Fun facts about Bobby McFerrin - Don’t Worry, Be Happy:

People made jokes that he offed himself after becoming a one hit wonder. Not true at all. In fact, he was a respected voice percussionist before and after that song and he didn’t seem to care much about having further hits.

Another fun fact: this is the only a cappella song to go #1 in the United States.

He is an incredibly talented, innovative vocalist. This one surprise success in pop music probably earned him a lot of money, but I wonder if he doesn't sometimes regret the unshakeable reputation that came with it.

The Grammys are stupid. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean the whole rest of the world has to agree. Ye some of the artists on here aren't very good but you don't need to whine that the whole world doesn't have the EXACT SAME music taste as you.
