Pretty big with Mexican-Americans however:

Not sure about the other nominees, although Cheap Trick deserve it just for 'Surrender'.

Even though the smiths undoubtedly should be recognised for what they did for manchester music I hate all this American hall of fame etc. Although it would be nice if all the band members could re unite on stage for one last time. As I for one would pay to see the blood bath that it would ensew once mike Joyce has stuck a drum stick in morrisseys head.

Seem to remember a blondie documentary where ex band argued with the current group at said awards

Whether you like The Smiths or not, as soon as you try to imply that Johnny Marr isn't an incredibly gifted guitarist then your opinion loses any credibility. Not that it ever had any.

I voted for them along with Yes and Chic.
