    Oh, believe me, it would still lose out to some wonderful appearance by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Yanni, Kenny G., Clayderman, Vollenweider or Vanessa Mae.

    At least they did pick what was probably the best track from Anathema's rather disappointing (to me) album.

    Yeah, and why aren't the Sports Illustrated swimsuit models all record-breaking athletes while we're at it?

    Sorry, but it's a bit hopeless to expect Prog Magazine to suddenly become vastly different. Maybe some day there'll be a different body bestowing awards to prog bands.

    Oh, you remember quite well of the great virtuosos of the past. Sad to see Carl Palmer winning the award over them

    I thought the awards were great. I was especially pleased with Transatlantic's win.
