12087-525: The band's awards, explaining that: I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry.

The Grammys have also been criticized for generally awarding or nominating more commercially successful albums rather than critically successful ones. In 1991, Sinéad O'Connor became

In an article for Time , journalist Touré also responded to

18207-432: The pitch does not become square.

Broadly, these include three main categories: strikers , or forwards, whose main task
