Outstanding Contribution Award

Sir Paul McCartney

While I don’t begrudge Paul McCartney his outstanding contribution/lifetime achievement/give them an award before they die award, maybe the timing, with Paul’s media battle with Heather Mills continuing, isn’t the best.

I’ll be doing another post in a few weeks time with my views and opinions of who could, and should win, but until then, I’ll listen to a few of the artists and albums who are nominated to get my choices in order.
