Well I suppose that's pretty darn good news.
I believe Heaven and Hell was nominated for best band, so I obviously wanted them to win that, but Rush is pretty great too and at least it didn't go to Muse (classic rock?).

Muse aren't classic rock but for me they're one of the best bands around (modern bands) and certainly the best thing coming out of England right now IMO, a great live act.
That being said I'm glad Rush won Best Band. S&A is a great record and when I saw them at Wembley they were absoloutely incredible.
Then obviously it's great for H&H. But the award would've gone to Led Zep had voting been a few weeks later. |
