The Rolling Stones beating IDLES, Fontaines D.C., Green Day and more to Best Rock Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards.The Stones picked up the award for their 2024 album ‘Hackney Diamonds‘ last night (February 2) which was up against Fontaines D.C.’s ‘Romance‘, IDLES’ ‘Tangk‘, Green Day’s ‘Saviours‘, Jack White‘s ‘No Name‘, Pearl Jam‘s ‘Dark Matter‘ and The Black Crowes‘ album ‘Happiness Bastards’.Accepting the trophy on The Rolling Stones’ behalf, Andrew Watt, producer of ‘Hackney Diamonds’ said: “Talked to Mick [Jagger] yesterday and he just wanted to say a big thank you to the Academy from the entire band.“For a little boy that grew up playing guitar, it was one of the most amazing experiences to be around those musicians.”While some praised the Stones’ victory, many felt a lot of the other artists were “robbed”.Writing in the comments section of Watt’s acceptance speech one wrote: “Jack White got snubbed,” while another added: “Fontaines dc robbed.”Another also expressed their disappointment at Fontaines losing out, adding: “The Grammy’s are a joke!

With all respect to The Rolling Stones, but this wasn’t the deserved winner out of the nominations. Fontaines D.C. should have won for ‘Romance’.”Elsewhere, one Green Day fan said the band were “snubbed.”It was a similar story on social media with one fan writing: “Love love the rolling stones but that grammy should’ve gone to fontaines dc.”Another added: “I love the Beatles and The Rolling Stones a lot but enough already with the #Grammys.

Idles and Fontaines DC and others are out here making great shit.”You can view some reactions below:love the rolling stones but that grammy should’ve gone to fontaines dc pic.twitter.com/VkWMX0HD3l— rosie ౨ৎ (@babyhcney) February 2, 2025I.
