The Sex Pistols refused to go to the Hall of Fame ceremony when they were inducted.
Anyway, I don't pay attention to the MTV awards but I imagine they're nothing short of repugnant.
The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is run by corrupt fools. They have a horrible bias against prog rock too... I think Pink Floyd is the only prog band there. Madonna and U2 are in there, but Iron Maiden, King Crimson and Can aren't. I know Maiden isn't strictly rock, but in their time, heavy metal could have been considered a subgenre of rock, and Madonna is pop for crying out loud.
