I adore Motorhead (I wish I had an umlaut key!) and Priest so I am pleased to see them nominated, get Thin Lizzy in too and I'll be a happy man.

That said, I still abhor the entire pretense. The fact that, as they did with Yes and the wonderful Chris Squire, the entirety of the classic line up of Motorhead (my favourite three piece of all time and a massive influence on pretty much every hard rock, punk and metal band going) are now sadly passed despite having been valid for years beforehand is just one of the things that makes me see red with the whole thing.
