Grammy Winners for Album of the Year
By: fillups
Santa Clara County Library
Staff-created list
The top Grammy award for an album length recording. Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. In this context, "album" means a recorded collection of songs (a multi-track LP, CD, or download package), not the individual songs or their compositions. This award is the Grammy's general category and can go to the best album of the year regardless of genre. Country, Pop, Rock and even Comedy have all been recognized genres in this category. Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented.
