Even if the event isn't held there, I nominate this beautiful, beautiful venue that is chock full of prog love for an award in it's own right!
 
It would be just plain rude not to surely?Wink
 
 
 
So back to the "venue" debate, it should be hosted in a secret location and broadcast over the web...... it's the only way to please the "why isn't in my back yard" brigade........LOL

It's the Śląski Theatre, in Katowice, have you not heard of it? Shocked

How about the hall be in Latvia, near that Frank Zappa statue? Big%20smile


Lithuania, actually.

I suspect it is piddling organisation, and certainly the need to pay money to be part of it, before you get voting rights is off-putting. I was shocked  when the art director for Holdsworth's 16 Men Of Tain, told me he was seriously thinking of nominating his artwork for a Grammy - I hadn't appreciated you could nominate your own work for these so-called pretigious award - but he didn't in the end. So I'm cynical in the extreme wrt to these awards with so few involved with nomination and then voting - I would far more faith if the whole of the membership of  Prog Archives, Prog Ears, Gibaltar, etc. . were asked to nominate and then vote. Also remember too mnay of the top 10 or 100 polls read in magazine or on TV, are based on comparatively biassed small committees coming up with 150% of the necessary names (and you can guess done in the local pub), and then limiting voters to those nominees and no others.

Are those the same 16 men of Tain; http://www.tain.org.uk/glenmorangie-distillery-g.asp - if so, they surely deserve an award for bringing so much pleasure to mankind LOL
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Your probably right Dick. I have met Laurie Larson before whose idea this was and she in no musicoligist .  Notice how slanted to just English and American artists it is?  I agree they should get other sponsors than asking people to pay to vote.  It is a good idea but just like the R&R HOF it is just a select few who will control it.  Too bad.
