Nice bit of recognition for Phil.

No shame in Roxy crossing the finishing line behind Floyd's immersion remasters (although perhaps surprising that the wonderful Wish You Were Here pipped the more populist Dark Side Of The Moon...); hopefully next year we'll be able to vote for the deluxe 40th (41st?) anniversary boxed set.

Some results more predicatable (the posthumous award for Jon Lord) than others (Rush?!), some smacking a little of advance publicity ("Quo Live", just as the original quartet announces some reunion gigs...), while others are just baffling (Skynyrd, with only one original member present, has become its own tribute band; perhaps not the best way to remember a great band's former glories...).

Phil speaks ! And picks up his award !

Thanks for that, I thought I had added the youtube link to my post.

Thanks Ian,

Rick Wakeman really took over the interview.

I wonder how many here voted to push RM over the edge to beat out Floyd.

I voted several times. Anyhoot, congrats to PM.
