1982 Was Not a Good Year for Female Rock Vocalists

The Grammy nominees for 1982's Best Female Rock Vocal Performance were Wendy O Williams (of the Plasmatics), Lita Ford and Pia Zadora. I've heard cats in heat sing better than those three. All I can think of to explain this lack of talent getting nominated is the fact that in 1982 - MTV was new and people were too busy looking at their boobs to notice their singing.

I thought about this because today would have been Wendy O Williams' 58th birthday if she hadn't blown her brains out in 1998.
