Rush vs. the Grammys - "Behind My Camel" by The Police - Reaction

Why has Rush never won a Grammy?

You figure, a band that has sold over 40 million records in their over 40-year career surely would have won at least ONE.  But, even though Rush has been nominated seven times (six songs, and one documentary), they never won.

Why has Rush never won a Grammy?

Many Rush fans actually don't care.  Most likely, the band members themselves didn't care.  But really, did the winners actually deserve to win?  Or was Rush cheated?  How can we determine this?

I am going to endeavor to determine if Rush actually should've won the Grammy the year they were nominated, in this six-part series called, "Rush vs. the Grammys".  I will be reacting to the song that beat Rush the year they were nominated.  Even though there were more songs nominated in the category, I will only be comparing Rush's song to the Grammy winner.

I realize that my view may be biased 😉, but I will try to be as objective as possible.  Did the winner actually deserve the win?  These are all instrumentals, so in this initial video I will explain what my criteria is to determine who actually deserved it.

Our first reaction in the six-part series (I will not be reacting to the documentary nomination - for now at least) will be to "Behind My Camel" by The Police.  I mean, if there's a group Rush could lose to, this is one of them.  The Police are (were) a fantastic group, and deserve all the accolades they get.  But did they deserve to win a Grammy over "YYZ" by Rush?

Let us know in the Comments what you think after you hear "Behind My Camel" by The Police, as we embark on the quest to determine why Rush never won a Grammy.  Should be fun!
