Awards Tally

[DebbieSG]

Well it's been announced that U2 is the top grossing live band this year, which isn't an award per se but certainly an accomplishment.

They started out, since the release of ATYCLB, with three Grammies:

Best Song (Beautiful Day)
Best Record (Beautiful Day)
Best Rock Duo or Group

What else?

 

[WildHonee]

Well Bono's the European of the Year

97% compatible with Bono

"Bono was embraced as rock's latest mystic leader, a sort of holy cross between the Morrisons, Jim and Van"

"I used to gaze out my classroom window and dream And then go home and listen to Ray sing "I believe to my soul" after school" ~Van Morrison~

 

[DebbieSG]

Nobody else wants to help out here?

I can add they got Spin's Band of the Year.

Then they were given awards for "God like Genius" and most consistent band or something that like, I just don't have the details for these.

CONGRATS U2!! Banner year

That's what I thought! So what else??

I am relying on you knowledgeable interferencers(interlanders?) to put together the ultimate list here.


Chris: sounds great, I will be having a nice cozy night in here. Last year I went into the City and lived through hell trying to take BART home.

Godlike geniouses - that was VH-1 awards.

Outstanding lifetime achievement - Brit awards.

Best international band - Austrian music awards.

BD also was called "song of the year" in my country's biggest newspaper's look back on the year 2000. In the same thing, ATYCLB was among the most praised albums.

Also:

Best International Group - Brit Awards

Editor's Choice Award - the Q Magazine Awards (I think it's for having the most votes across all categories)

I'm pretty sure that Godlike Genius was at the NME Awards (that's when Bono said the c-word a few times in his acceptance speech, which shocked some people here as I remember)

Best Rock Band - the Top of the Pops

Adam won the Bass Player of the Year award from some magazine (can't remember the name)

The Lifetime Achievement Award - MTV Video Awards

 

[Angela Harlem]

They also got the AH Award for Band With Longest Running Interest.
