The answer to this question is subjective and depends on how you define "biggest artist." However, some of the most frequently mentioned artists who have never won a GRAMMY include:
- The Rolling Stones: Widely considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time, the Rolling Stones have received numerous nominations but never won a GRAMMY for Album of the Year.
- Led Zeppelin: Another legendary rock band, Led Zeppelin has only won one GRAMMY for their work on "Stairway to Heaven" in the category of Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocals.
- Bob Dylan: A folk-rock icon and Nobel Prize winner, Dylan has won 11 GRAMMYs throughout his career, but never for Album of the Year.
- Janet Jackson: A pop music legend with countless hits, Jackson has been nominated for 35 GRAMMYs but has only won five.
It's important to note that these are just a few examples, and there are many other incredibly successful artists who have never won a GRAMMY. The significance of the award varies depending on the individual artist and their career trajectory.
