The Grammy Awards You Don't Hear About

You know the big names: Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Kanye West.

You probably know some of the upstarts: The Black Keys, Gotye, Frank Ocean, Skrillex, Fun.

And you might know a few of the categories: Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best New Artist.

But when the 55th Annual Grammy Awards air live on Sunday at 8:00p.m. ET, did you know they’ll be giving out a total of 81 of those golden gramophones?

After completely overhauling the categories last year, the Recording Academy added a few more for 2013. Of course host LL Cool J won’t have time to preside over each one, so only the most popular are televised.

And while it’s exciting to see your favorite artists take the stage, scoping out some of the less well-known names and the categories they fall into can be a great way to discover cool new tunes. You can check out the comprehensive list of nominees at Grammy.com, but for starters take a look at the assortment below — and then maybe have a listen…
