It was a big night for the Aussies at this year’s Grammy Awards.
AC/DC won their first ever Grammy, beating out Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, Metallica, and Nickelback in the best hard rock performance. The Aussie expats grabbed the gong for “War Machine” from their massive comeback album Black Ice. However that album was no match for Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown in the rock album category.
Keith Urban lost out to Taylor Swift in the best country album category, but came up trumps for best male country vocal performance. His hit “Sweet Thing” beat out tunes from Trace Adkins, Billy Currington, Jamey Johnson, and George Strait.
Sadly The Greencards didn’t come away with a win. They were beaten by Steve Wariner in the best country instrumental performance category.
