The Grammy nominations are slowly coming out and the Foo Fighters are on the list with a few nods, along with AC/DC, Mammoth WVH, and the Deftones. The 64th Grammys will recognize the best albums, songs, and artists during the eligibility period of September 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021. In an effort to make the awards more transparent, this is the first time that there was no secret review committee making decisions.
