| CATEGORY WON WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE : Symbol of a Generation (Kurt
Cobain, 76,6%) |
| CATEGORY WON WITH THE LOWEST PERCENTAGE: Best alternative song (Song
2 / Superman's Dead, 12,2% each) |
| CATEGORY WITH THE HIGHEST PARTICIPATION: Most legendary album (52 votes) |
| CATEGORY WITH THE LOWEST PARTICIPATION: Best "however already almost
forgotten" song (34 votes) |
| ACCORDING TO ME, THE LESS FAIRLY VOTED CATEGORY: Best female singer
(Alanis Morissette and Shirley Manson finished up first and second while
Björk, Tori Amos and Beth from Portishead are all much better singers) |
| Best original song from a movie soundtrack - My Heart Will go
on |
Rejected because it's no rock at all |
| Best soundtrack – StarWars |
Rejected because it's not rock music |
| Many unknown submitted by David Bourque |
Rejected - way too much unknown to be added to the list. |
| Best Greatest Hits – Plastic Bertrand |
Rejected because it cannot be considered as international material
(I'm actually not even sure if it shipped in the U.S.). |
| some old prodigy |
Rejected because the 2 first Prodigy albums were techno, not the techno-rock
they introduced with The Fat of the Land. |
| Most Underrated Band – Type O Negative |
Rejected - good idea, but there was no "underrated band" category,
there was only an "underrated album" category... |
| Best Song Cover (remake) – [RAMMSTEIN] Stripped |
Rejected - it's not been an international single. I know it's been
in Germany, but not in North America, for example. |
| Most underrated album – any from Blur |
Good suggestion |
| Rock or Alternative - The Eels in any related category |
Believe it or not, Beautiful Freak from Eels was indeed in the first
draft of my list of nominees for "best debut album", but I dropped it in
the final version to keep only 10 nominees instead of 11 ! In other categories,
it would have been a little tougher, but it's not a bad suggestion. |
| Sloan for Rock related categories (Canadian) |
Rejected - well, the regional (so Canadian) categories were dropped
for technical reasons. Thanks anyway for the suggestion. |
| Slayer |
Rejected - for what, best rock band? |
