The finalists don't reflect the way i voted with the exception of Bellowhead for the live award.
Maybe the voting is so widespread and various that the ones who get the nod for the final four are in the end condensation of this wonderful and varied world we inhabit rather than a reflection of it?
I don't have a conspiracy thoery about it. Just see and hear so many wonderful players that i don't think ANY awards would ever really do it justice
