Kanye, at least, has been a musical guest 6 times on SNL. Dave Grohl is #1 in that with 11 times (I'm sure that counts Nirvana and Foo Fighters as well as when he appeared with Tom Petty). It could have been they snapped up who they could, esp one week after the Grammys.

SNL has always been known for its musical guests, so no reason not to include some. Maybe put Grohl in as the top musical guest in place of Miley (who has done it, what, once - though I think she hosted that week too?)
