The polls
are closed, the results are in and our readers have spoken. Queen
is the winner of three 2015 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards, taking the Tour,
Live Album/Video and Commercial of the Year categories. You can see the results
below.
For Tour of the Year, Queen + Adam Lambert’s trip across North America ended up
with 57 percent of the vote. Not even the combined firepower of Foreigner,
Styx
and former Eagles guitarist Don
Felder on their ‘Soundtrack of Summer’ tour (29 percent) could
touch Queen. None of the other nominees had as much as five percent.
Queen
faced their biggest challenge in the Live Album or Video of the Year category. Their ‘Live at the Rainbow ’74‘ release, which gave fans
a glimpse at the band just as they were about to break through, had nearly 41
percent. At 30 percent, Toto’s ‘35th Anniversary Tour: Live in Poland’
was good enough for second, with Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Appetite for Democracy 3D’ (almost 10 percent)
taking third place.
But it was
for Commercial of the Year where Queen proved its
muscle. Just as the film studios will save their Oscar-worthy films for
Christmastime, the Verizon commercial which used ‘I Want It All’ that aired throughout the holiday
season won the prize. It took 64 percent of the vote, with its nearest
competitor, Motley Crue’s spot for Dodge Charger, got only six percent of
the votes. Surprisingly, only one percent of our readers voted for the long-lost ad that Paul Stanley made for Folgers Coffee that became
a viral sensation.
Congratulations
to Queen on their three 2015 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards!

YAY!!! Glad to see the Glamberts/Queen Fans worked hard on this poll and it paid off! Go Queen and Adam Lambert <333
Glad to hear this, I voted everyday but realized I could have voted every hour.
I put in my share of votes, too, and I'm so glad they won in all the categories they were in. It sure makes a statement about the power of Queen fans and Adam Lambert fans.
I wonder if Adam and Brian and Roger will hear about this?
I'm sure they'll hear about it :))
WOW! Great to open up 24/7 and see this! Thanks for posting Admin Fan.
