Neil Young and Bob Dylan are the most nominated classic rock artists at Sunday night's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Each have three nods, with Dylan in the running for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song for "Someday Baby" off of Modern Times, which was nominated for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album. Young is up for Best Rock Song and Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for "Lookin' for a Leader," while Living With War is up for Best Rock Album.
