Whoa! Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics! They sound great! ---

> [@Dolores Reborn](#): > > So far, I vote for Los Lonely Boys as the best group of the millineum… I just never got too interested in them. At one time I was a big Los Lobos fan and LLB came off as a bubblegum version when I heard that first song. Frankly I never gave them another chance. Am I wrong? Don’t pit me ! :eek: ---

Seems like there’s a major Awards show every month from somewhere in the world these days. The Grammys are voted on by the academy and the American Music Awards are voted on by the people (I’ve never been asked, though!). The AMAs have been on since the early 70s, so I don’t lump them in with all of the other the award shows that seem to have come about in the last 7 or 8 years.
