1960: Bobby Darin â?¢ Also nominated: Edd Byrnes; Johnny Restivo; Mark Murphy; Mavis Riversآ*

A smart choice of future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer behind such hits as “Splish Splash” and “Mack the Knife.”

1961: Bob Newhart â?¢ Also nominated: Joanie Sommers; Leontyne Price; Miriam Makeba; The Brothers Fourآ*

The three-time Grammy-winning comedian went on to become a huge TV star.

1962: Peter Nero â?¢ Also nominated: Ann-Margret; Dick Gregory; The Lettermen; Timi Yuroآ*

The pianist and pops conductor had a long and distinguished career.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1963: Robert Goulet â?¢ Also nominated: Allan Sherman; Peter, Paul and Mary; The Four Seasons; The New Christy Minstrels; Vaughn Meaderآ*

How could Grammy voters pass over Frankie Valli’s The Four Seaons or the folk legends Peter, Paul and Mary?
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1964: The Swingle Singers â?¢ Also nominated: John Gary; Trini Lopez; The J’s with Jamie; Vikki Carrآ*

The classical chorus wins over singer-guitarist Trini Lopez? Um, OK.

1965: The Beatles â?¢ Also nominated: The Beatles
Antonio Carlos Jobim; Astrud Gilberto; Morgana King; Petula Clarkآ*

Yeah, we’ve heard of these guys.

1966: Tom Jones â?¢
Also nominated: Glenn Yarbrough; Herman’s Hermits; Horst Jankowski; Marilyn Maye; Sonny & Cher; The Byrdsآ*

The Welsh singer seemed old-fashioned even at the time — especially compared to the Byrds.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1968: Bobbie Gentry â?¢ Also nominated: Harpers Bizarre; Jefferson Airplane; Lana Cantrell; The 5th Dimensionآ*

(No award given in 1967.) The country star was one of the genre’s first to write her own material.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1969: Josأ© Feliciano â?¢ Also nominated: Cream; Gary Puckett & The Union Gap; Jeannie C. Riley; O. C. Smithآ*

https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1971: The Carpenters â?¢ Also nominated: Anne Murray; Elton John; Melba Moore; The Partridge Familyآ*

Poor Elton. At least the Partridge Family didn’t win.

1972: Carly Simon â?¢ Also nominated: Bill Withers; Chase; Emerson, Lake & Palmer; Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1973: America â?¢ Also nominated: Eagles; Harry Chapin; John Prine; Loggins and Messinaآ*

The Eagles were robbed!
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1974: Bette Midler â?¢ Also nominated: Barry White; Eumir Deodato; Marie Osmond; Maureen McGovernآ*

Bette over Barry White? Interesting…
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1975: Marvin Hamlisch â?¢ Also nominated: Bad Company; David Essex; Graham Central Station; Johnny Bristol; Phoebe Snowآ*

Another old-fashioned choice.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1976: Natalie Cole â?¢ Also nominated: Amazing Rhythm Aces; Brecker Brothers; KC and the Sunshine Band; Morris Albertآ*

Unforgettable.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1977: Starland Vocal Band â?¢ Also nominated: Boston; Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band; The Brothers Johnson; Wild Cherryآ*

Who?
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1978: Debby Boone â?¢ Also nominated: Andy Gibb; Foreigner; Shaun Cassidy; Stephen Bishop

Another boring, safe choice that snubs legends like Gibb and Foreigner. Doesn’t feel like the first time the Grammys have gone the wrong way.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1979: A Taste of Honey â?¢ Also nominated: Chris Rea; Elvis Costello; The Cars; Totoآ*

Really?! You pass over Elvis Costello and The Cars for the “Boogie Oogie Oogie” duo?
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1980: Rickie Lee Jones â?¢ Also nominated: Dire Straits; Robin Williams; The Blues Brothers; The Knack
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1981: Christopher Cross â?¢ Also nominated: Amy Holland; Irene Cara; Robbie Dupree; The Pretendersآ*

The “Sailing” guy bests the Pretenders? Take me away.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1982: Sheena Easton â?¢ Also nominated: Adam and the Ants; James Ingram; Luther Vandross; The Go-Go’sآ*

Love Sheena, but Luther and the G0-Gos made a bigger impact.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1983: Men at Work â?¢ Also nominated: Asia; Jennifer Holliday; Stray Cats; The Human League
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1984: Culture Club â?¢ Also nominated: Big Country; Eurythmics; Men Without Hats; Musical Youthآ*

Boy George vs. Annie Lennox.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1985: Cyndi Lauper â?¢ Also nominated: Corey Hart; Frankie Goes to Hollywood; Sheila E.; The Judds

The Grammys got this one right.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1986: Sade â?¢ Also nominated: A-ha; Freddie Jackson; Katrina and the Waves; Julian Lennon
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1989: Tracy Chapman â?¢ Also nominated: Rick Astley; Take 6; Toni Childs; Vanessa L. Williamsآ*

At least the Grammys didn’t Rick-roll Tracy Chapman.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1990: [Milli Vanilli] â?¢ Also nomianted: Indigo Girls; Neneh Cherry; Soul II Soul; Tone Lإچc

Granted, the Grammys rescinded the award after the pop duo Milli Vanilli were exposed as lip-syncers of other vocalists. But the fact that they beat great artists like Indigo Girls and Tone Lإچc in the first place is embarrassing.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

1991: Mariah Carey â?¢ Also nominated: Lisa Stansfield; The Black Crowes; The Kentucky Headhunters; Wilson Phillips

One year after the Milli Vanilli debacle, Grammy voters got it right.

1992: Marc Cohn â?¢ Also nominated: Boyz II Men; C+C Music Factory; Color Me Badd; Sealآ*

Another vanilla choice in a year in which Boys II Men and Seal were both contenders.

1996: Hootie & the Blowfish â?¢ Also nominated: Alanis Morissette; Brandy; Joan Osborne; Shania Twainآ*

Guess Darius Rucker’s band name didn’t effectively warn Grammy voters that it would not withstand the test of time.

1997: LeAnn Rimes â?¢ Also nominated: Garbage; Jewel; No Doubt; The Tony Rich Project

Xtina beat Britney!?
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

2001: Shelby Lynne â?¢ Also nominated: Brad Paisley; Jill Scott; Papa Roach; Sisqأ³آ*

Lynne wins on her sixth studio album — and beats future country superstar Brad Paisley?

https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/p...mg/loading.gif

2005: Maroon 5 â?¢ Also nominated: Gretchen; Wilson; Los Lonely Boys; Joss Stone; Kanye Westآ*

It’s a wonder Yeezy didn’t storm the stage to demand a recount.
