Adam Granduciel Quotes

Black music is too big and too powerful not to have its own awards show.

I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.

The Musicians Hall of Fame is chosen by thousands of your peers. So it's the real thing.

The Grammys are just the pinnacle of music.

It's amazing to be nominated for the Brits' Critics' Choice Award 2016. It's such a significant award that highlights the importance of new music, so it's a genuine honour to have been nominated alongside some other incredible new acts from the U.K.

The Hall Of Fame thing, it's an American thing. We don't have that in England or Germany or Australia or Russia or anywhere in the world apart from America. And it's an institution. What's that got to do with rock and roll?

At the end of the day, the Grammys are about recognizing genres that are making an impact.

Music is my life, professionally, for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor.

I've received many awards, but I'm most proud of the ones for my country's music.

The American Music Awards mean more to us; that's a people's award, and we're a people's band. The Grammys are the critics.

I want Grammys.

That was one thing I wanted to win because, my mom, she didn't really know much else in music, but the Grammys were special to her.

I don't think there should be a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, period.

I've always said I can't tell sometimes that people even have an album out until I see them nominated for a Grammy. I think country gets dumped on across the board by the Grammys.

I'm hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That's my main goal.

I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.

If you want me in the Hall of Fame put me in because of some contributions that I have made to country music.

But MTV relishes its vestigial role as a star maker, so every year it puts all its clout into making the VMAs the biggest, splashiest, loudest show-biz extravaganza of the year, honoring all this music for existing, after a year of paying barely any attention to it.

It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.

My first single I was nominated for a Grammy with 'Crank That,' and I lost a Grammy to Kanye West, but it was still such a big deal for me to be nominated anyway.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame traditionally has had a management style that is very supportive of American talent, first and foremost, over everything else. And I think that's right and proper.
