The '''Grammy Award for Best Rock Album''' is an award presented at the [[Grammy Award]]s, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,<ref name=Grammy>{{cite news|url=http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/grammys/env-grammy_awards_info,0,5279018.htmlstory?track=center|title=Grammy Awards at a Glance|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=April 24, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309064412/http://theenvelope.latimes.com/factsheets/env-grammy_awards_info%2C0%2C5838827.htmlstory|archive-date=March 9, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> to recording artists for quality albums in the [[rock music]] genre. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by [[The Recording Academy]] of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".<ref name=Overview>{{cite web|url=http://www2.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/ |title=Overview |access-date=April 24, 2010 |publisher=[[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091027163924/http://www.grammy.com/recording_academy/ |archive-date=October 27, 2009 }}</ref>
[[File:FoosLollBerlin190917-74 (cropped).jpg|right|upright|thumb|[[Foo Fighters]] (pictured in 2017) have won the award more than any other artist or group. They have been nominated for the award a record eight times and won the award a record five times.]]
The award for Best Rock Album was first presented to the band [[the Rolling Stones]] in 1995, and the name of the category has remained unchanged since then. According to the category description guide for the [[52nd Grammy Awards]], the award is presented to "vocal or instrumental rock, hard rock or metal albums containing at least 51% playing time of newly recorded material".<ref name=52nd>{{cite web|url=http://www2.grammy.com/PDFs/Recording_Academy/52guide.pdf |title=52nd OEP Category Description Guide |access-date=July 12, 2010 |page=2 |publisher=National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091027172820/http://www.grammy.com/PDFs/Recording_Academy/52guide.pdf |archive-date=October 27, 2009 }}</ref>
The award goes to the artist, producer and engineer/mixer, provided they were responsible for more than 50 percent of playing time on the album. Producers and/or engineers/mixers who are responsible for ''less'' than 50 percent, as well as the mastering engineer, can apply for a Winners Certificate.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.grammy.com/sites/com/files/bluebook_awards_certs_and_grammy_tickets.pdf |title=Grammy Blue Book (edition 2021) |access-date=2020-06-13 |archive-date=2020-06-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200610183728/https://www.grammy.com/sites/com/files/bluebook_awards_certs_and_grammy_tickets.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
The band [[Foo Fighters]] currently holds the records for both wins and nominations in this award, with five wins and eight nominations overall. Foo Fighters are also the only three-time, four-time, and five-time winners of the award. In the 2000s, the group famously won the award twice in the span of four years, with their albums ''[[There Is Nothing Left to Lose|There is Nothing Left to Lose]]'' in 2001 and ''[[One by One (Foo Fighters album)|One by One]]'' in 2004.
Two-time winners include [[Sheryl Crow]], [[Green Day]], [[U2]], [[Cage the Elephant]], and [[Muse (band)|Muse]]. [[Neil Young]] holds the record for most nominations without a win, with seven. To date, only three women, [[Sheryl Crow]], [[Alanis Morissette]] and [[Hayley Williams]] of [[Paramore]] have won the award.
