Guns ‘N Roses has been nominated three times for the Grammy one time, which is amazing considering the popularity of the band and members Axl and Slash.

Over the decades there may have never been a more commercial, radio friendly band than Journey, nominated only once for a Grammy.

Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin have never been nominated for a Grammy, which begs the question how old the voting members where during the popularity of each?
