3. Grammy Awards

Grammy in music is like Oscar in film. Although it is undoubtedly marked with American culture, most musicians all over the world are still proud of being able to hold this old phonograph.
Grammy can be talked about by musicians all over the world. Apart from the fact that the United States has always been the center of global pop music and represented a high level of pop music, there are three reasons:
★ Authority-people who have no real talent and knowledge and lack persistent pursuit of music career generally cannot enter the jury. The jury composed of so many senior professionals will naturally be trusted by music lovers.
★ Fairness-There is a very strict system and procedure for the selection of Grammy music awards. After the product recommendation comes up, it must first be screened and qualified by more than 15 experts from various fields in the music industry, and then classified.
★ Extensive influence-The Grammy Awards were not very famous at the beginning, but TV helped. Television has not only turned the original rigid award ceremony of the Grammy into a colorful music program, but also greatly improved the international popularity of the Grammy Music Awards through live broadcast to the whole world.
The 44th Grammy Awards Gala attracted about 1.7 billion viewers from 17 countries around the world. The Grammy Awards Ceremony went global, which made a great contribution to the Grammy Music Awards being widely accepted by musicians all over the world.

5. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
As its name implies, it is dedicated to recording the history of some of the most famous and influential rock artists, producers and other people who have a great influence on the record industry.
History:
The Association was founded in 1983, and the first award ceremony was held in 1986.
Compared with the Grammy Award, which is regarded as the highest honor award in American pop music, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is much heavier. It takes into account the contributions of the selected musicians to the whole history of rock and roll, and can better prove their brilliant achievements.
First of all, these musicians must be nominated more than 25 years after the release of their first album. In addition, they must have made sufficient contributions to the development of rock music and have an immortal position in the history of rock music.
Then, a jury composed of rock historians put forward a nomination list of 5 to 7 people, and sent it to 7 rock experts through the Internet for voting. The one who got the most votes and got more than half of the votes was finally elected.
The "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" also pays more attention to rock culture than other awards. It is not only rock musicians who can be included in it, but also "insiders" such as songwriters, producers, sound recorders and music journalists.
People who appeared before the era of rock music are also qualified as long as they have an indelible influence on it.
