There's a good reason people love to hate the Grammys.

Actually, there are plenty of reasons.

In preparation for the 2015 Grammy Awards (airing Sunday, Feb. 8 on CBS), we look back at some of of the biggest blunders the Recording Academy has made over the years.

From mistakenly thinking Jethro Tull rocks harder than Metallica to snubbing the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" for "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," it's all here.

Browse through the gallery and let us know if there are any other head-smacking award moments we missed.

We won't even mention the time Rick Springfield, wearing a pink plaid blazer, beat Bruce Springsteen (but you can see the photographic evidence for yourself).

Bonus! Some artists who have never won a Grammy: Led Zeppelin, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Beach Boys, Bob Marley, the Doors, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, Diana Ross, the Kinks, Queen, Snoop Dogg, Iggy Pop and - how can it be? - Journey.
