The Grammys have been a political hack award forever. I remember when Roberta Flack got Album of the Year the same year that such albums as Led Zeppelin 4 and Low Spark of High Heeled Boys came out. What a pathetic joke. I’ve paid them no mind ever since.
Traffic was not a big seller like Falck's hit that year.
] Pop Matters offered yet another viewpoint, calling it "an album that's easy to listen to over and over, but one that seldom shows up on 'best of' lists." It commented that most of the songs are highly underrated and require multiple listens to appreciate.[5] It was voted number 625 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition (2000). [6]
LZ IV was actually on of the best selling albums. Bottom line - all we get now are Roberta Flack's (who btw ws fantastic) and no Traffic or Zeps. They were bragging how all the nominees were women, so much for diversity, hardly any "rock" bands around anymore like the 70's - you know, bands with musicians and no autotune.
