Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Costello, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Pete Seeger, the Who, and Sly and the Family Stone have never brought home a Grammy. But look who has: 1958 Record of the Year goes to Domenico Modugno's ''Volare'' in a year that saw the Everly Brothers' ''All I Have to Do Is Dream'' and Danny and the Juniors' ''At the Hop.'' 1963 Still not getting it, Grammy voters award Best Rock & Roll Recording to Nino Tempo and April Stevens' lush ''Deep Purple.'' 1964 Even though the Beatles walk away with Best New Artist and Best Performance by a Vocal Group (for A Hard Day's Night), Best Rock & Roll Recording goes to Petula Clark's ''Downtown.'' 1965 It was the year of ''Like a Rolling Stone'' and ''(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction,'' but voters think Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass' ''A Taste of Honey'' is Record of the Year. 1967 Elvis Presley wins his first Grammy-for his How Great Thou Art gospel album. 1968 Many associate this year with the ''White Album'' or Beggars Banquet, but Glen Campbell's By the Time I Get to Phoenix is voted Album of the Year. 1972 Elvis Presley wins his second Grammy-for his He Touched Me gospel album. 1974 Olivia Newton-John's diabetes-inducing ''I Honestly Love You'' captures Record of the Year. 1978 New wave? What new wave? Best New Artist goes to A Taste of Honey (''Boogie Oogie Oogie'') over Elvis Costello and the Cars. 1982 As a result of Willie Nelson's rerecording, ''Always on My Mind'' wins the prestigious Song of the Year-even though it was written in 1971. 1988 Metallica seem a sure bet to walk off with the new award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. And the winner is Jethro Tull, who haven't played anything approximating either genre since the '70s.
