That song was very well received the one time I saw them play. We need to get Rush to make mention of it...
I'm willing to credit him with the band's success over passed over acts (Sex Pistols and Grandmaster Flash) who were nominated and had much more influence on punk (Fab Five Freddy even appeared on a Blondie track).
What did Chrissy Hynde do? Tried to marry Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten so that she could remain in England. Later dated Ray Davies of the Kinks.
And this does not even take into consideration the bands/performers who have not even been nominated.
Nothing but a pat on the back for selling albums is all this is.
Well, duh. :)
