2021 Grammy Best Rock odds predict The Strokes victory in Best Rock Album category

The American rock band, The Strokes received their first Grammy nominations with their latest album, The New Abnormal. It has got such great critics that online sportsbooks in the US favor them to win the category with the odds of 1.44.  The band released their sixth album after a seven-years break and reached the top 10 in seven countries. The former representatives of garage rock built some 80s sounds into their new album. Even though not every fan liked the disco beats and cheesy synths, it has been already mentioned in the top albums of 2020.

Another favorite in the category is Sturgill Simpson with Sound and Fury. He has been nominated for a Grammy three times before but in different genres. Simpson is more famous as a country singer than a rock, but he can still win in this category too. His latest album definitely has a classic rock sound with several electric guitar solos. It reached No3 on the US Top Rock Albums chart and has the odds of 4.32 to win according to the 2021 Grammy Best Rock odds. British singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has received his first Grammy nomination with his self-titled album, Kiwanuka. He won the Mercury Prize last year but might not be as well-known in the US as in the UK.
