Because a lot of the 'unknown' good music isn't on the charts because it doesn't fit the charts. Grammys has always been geared towards the 'major' genres that the charts keep track of.

Oh come on, there is no way Dance or Metal is as popular as Punk. Christ there is an awad for POLKA! No one listens to Polka.
The grammys are bullshit because they are determined soley by the record companies that are part of the RIAA. Doesn't matter how good a record Youth Group, a now mainstream band, put out this year, because Epitaph arn't part of the RIAA it's never going to be associated with the Grammys.
You can win an MTV award for single of the year but since your record company is named Fuelled by Ramen you are not going to be apart of the Grammys.

I don't get all this negativity, if nobody has heard of a band their songs haven't had much impact and don't really matter. If they are too lazy / uninspired to climb the musical ranks then that's their problem.

Because we know commercial viability and talent go hand in hand.

Are you even reading what Grubdog wrote? What part of it did he suggest that?
Let's take Snow Patrol for example.
Their new stuff isn't much better or worse than their old stuffer stuff. I mean these guys ahve been kicking around for like 9 years now. But what album matter's more, which one is more important/memorable and popular? Eyes Open or whatever their debut was?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
