The Beatles
Winning Year: 1965
Built to Last: The Liverpool lads snagged the award the same night that ''A Hard Day's Night'' won them Best Performance by a Vocal Group (though their ''I Wanna Hold Your Hand'' lost Record of the Year to Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz's ''The Girl From Ipanema''). Needless to say, the band managed to outdo themselves both creatively and commercially thereafter and snag five more Grammys, to boot.
