Dave Matthews Band did not receive any 2012 Grammy nominations.
Fans hoped the Grammys would recognize DMB for Away From the World, its new album that came out in September. But when the Grammy nominations list came out last night, the band’s name was nowhere to be seen. The news left producer Steve Lillywhite disappointed:
No Grammy nominationshmmm, ihaven’t heard much better than the bands i have worked with this year..

Stefan Lessard also weighed in later:

For all its commercial success, DMB still has just one Grammy to its name: the 1997 award for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, which went to “So Much to Say.” Dave Matthews also won the 2004 Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for “Gravedigger.”
DMB’s Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King received two 2010 Grammy nominations, for Album of the Year and Best Rock Album, but lost in both categories. Here are the nominees in those categories this year:
Album of the Year
- El Camino, The Black Keys
- Some Nights, Fun.
- Babel, Mumford and Sons
- Channel Orange, Frank Ocean
- Blunderbuss, Jack White
Best Rock Album
- El Camino, The Black Keys
- Mylo Xyloto, Coldplay
- The 2nd Law, Muse
- Wrecking Ball, Bruce Springsteen
- Blunderbuss, Jack White
On the bright side for DMB, Rolling Stone named Away From the World the 29th best album of 2012.
