Did you watch the Grammy's on Sunday?

On February 12, it was music's biggest night, (or biggest award show, anyway), the 54th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast on CBS.

Some of our favorite classic rock artists were nominated for awards and others performed.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band took the stage to open the show and 'The Promise: The Darkness on The Edge of Town Story' won the Grammy for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, it was competing against Sting's '25 Years' release.

Joe Walsh played on a performance of Paul McCartney's new song "My Valentine." Neil Young was one of four performers paying tribute to McCartney. Fellow Beatle Ringo Starr was a presenter of a Grammy Award.

Weird Al Yankovic's, 'Alpocalypse,' was nominated for Best Comedy Album and 'Perform This Way,' (his parody of Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'), was up for Best Short Form Music Video. (Neither, unfortunately, took home a trophy)
