.
(antiMUSIC) Led Zeppelin was always the fans
band. The music press and the industry establishment in their day never
understood their appeal to fans. In hindsight they have come around and
one glaring omission is about to be corrected. Led Zeppelin will finally
receive a Grammy Award.
While snubbed in their day, Led Zeppelin
will be honored this year with a Lifetime Achievement Award. They will
not be presented with the award during the normal Awards ceremony, which
takes place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on February 13. The Lifetime
Achievement Awards will be handed out the day before.
The Lifetime Achievement Awards are given
to "profoundly inspiring figures" that were "legendary performers and archetypal
musicians and cultural ambassadors." Zeppelin are not the only rockers
being honored this year, Janis Joplin and Jerry Lee Lewis will also be
receive awards along with Jelly Roll Morton, Art Blakey, Eddy Arnold, The
Carter Family, The Staple Singers, Pinetop Perkins, Hoagy Carmichael, Don
Cornelius (Soul Train creator) and Billy Taylor (founder of Blue Note Records).
