Today we've been talking about last night's 57th annual Grammy Awards, but it turns out there are a number of significant artists who have never walked away with the golden gramophone trophy.

Artists like the Who, the Doors, Bob Marley, Björk, Snoop Dogg, Depeche Mode and Jimi Hendrix — despite their influence and innovation — have never received a Grammy award at the music industry's love fest.

So, for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, we're asking you: Which artists would you like to hear who you think deserve a Grammy but have never won one? Send us your requests.
