On this day in 1989, Jethro Tull win the first Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, beating out Metallica. The Grammys aren't known to embrace new forms of music, so it isn't until 1989 that they recognize heavy metal for the first time, finally acknowledging the headbangers that have been filling stadiums throughout the decade. Ignoring releases by Judas Priest, Anthrax, Guns N' Roses, Megadeth, Slayer and Pantera, nominations go to Jane's Addiction, Iggy Pop, Jethro Tull, AC/DC and Met

The first studio album of new Jethro Tull material in over 18 years - ‘The Zealot Gene’, out on January 28th, 2022 and featuring “Shoshana Sleeping”. https://jethrotullband.lnk.to/TheZealotGene | Jethro Tull
