Foo Fighters Lead Rock Grammy Nominations

Foo Fighters are among the rock leaders in the latest round of Grammy nominations - but they're up against some stiff competition.

Dave Grohl and his foo fighting cohorts have a total of six nominations, including Album Of The Year and Best Rock Song. They have won a total of six Grammys in the past, with the last being for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2008.

Others rock artists who could be called to the stage include Mumford & Sons, Coldplay, Mastodon and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Dream Theater have been given a Grammy nomination for what appears to be the first time in their lengthy career, for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. Korn's dubstep collaborator Skrillex has appeared in several categories, officially taking the new genre of dance music into the mainstream.

Here is a selected list of rock categories. For a full list of nominees, visit the Grammy website.
