The Rock Room

Aside from a shared penchant for musical excellence, alt-rockers Foo Fighters and neo-soul diva Adele wouldn't seem to have anything in common.

But at Sunday's 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards, the two acts found some common ground as they emerged as two of the biggest winners.

By capturing every rock award they were nominated for, Foo Fighters brought their total career tally to 11 GRAMMYs and became the first act ever to sweep the field.

When you consider that the award for Best Long Form Video went to director James Moll for Foo Fighters: Back And Forth, the band's showing Sunday seems all the more impressive.

Here, we take a closer look at the Foo Fighters' domineering 54th GRAMMY sweep.

Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song

Foo Fighters, "Walk"

Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance

Foo Fighters, "White Limo"

Best Rock Album

Foo Fighters, Wasting Light

Hope you still have your tickets, as a summer of Oz Rock is on the horizon. Sunday November 11 is the new date for this musical spectacular.
