Tangerine Dream's reason why they didn't win a Grammy: #65. As fans from the USA, we've noticed that TD has been nominated for the Grammy Awards several times, yet it's bizarre that the band hasn't received this acknowledgement so far. Any particular reason which could explain this? The Grammy Awards is a procedure with three main steps: first of all, various artists have to be selected in a primary voting system which then allows them to be nominated for a Grammy itself. In this primary voting process, thousands of musical acts, bands and solo artists already 'fall through' the network of individual musical tastes and perspectives of success as viewed by the voting committee - a selected group of professionals worldwide. Anyone, who has by then received a nomination for a Grammy, is considered to belong to the cream of the worldwide music community in the year the voting takes place, in regards to their professionalism and position in the music business. When finally someone receives the little golden Grammophone, it might play a very important business role, but even to belong to the couple of hundred musicians who are nominated each year, is definitely a big honour for a musician. Tangerine Dream has received such a nomination 7 times in a row! Nothing more to say. amir http://www.slystone.com Kevin Busby wrote:

Is Tangerine Dream sleep-inducing electric music or what?
A sad decline.
Aren't they good friends with Florian and Ralf?
