However, Adele will not be nominated for any of the rock categories:

-Best Rock Solo Vocal Performance
-Best Rock Song
-Best Rock Album

I think Stevie is a shoo-in for all of these. Another oddball category could be Best Recording Package.

Normally I would agree, but didn't the Grammy's announce streamlining and removing a bunch of categories last year? I know they eliminated "Best Female Rock Solo Vocal Performance - which Stevie was always nominated for (sans "Street Angel").
This unfortunately means Stevie is also now competing for votes with male & female "rock" artists! And the grammy's have homogenized their definition of "rock" so loosely as the years have gone by And besides that, there is some reasonable doubt that Stevie will have slim chances in the "Rock Song" or "Rock Album" categories, where she will most likely be up against the likes of artists and bands, such as the Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes, Red Hot Chili Pepper's, Lady Gaga - whom I wouldn't put past the Grammys lumping into the rock category as well as the ubiquitous Adele

I hope I am wrong & eating my words when the nominations are announced, because outside Stevie's work in "Bella Donna" which criminally did not receive as much due or recognition as it deserved back in the stone ages. "In Your Dreams" deserves all the accolades it has received. And what an achievement it would mean for Stevie to finally (as a solo artist) walk away with that award! Validation not only for her, but her fans. She is truly the long distance winner, and it's about time they recognize her in someway other than just a nomination!
