Nice one Mojo on voting David Gilmour's Lifetime Achievement Award :)

Howabout making it a bit more prominent on the Mojo pages - the man is a legend and just played 3 of the most amazing nights at the Royal Albert Hall...

Congratulations to David! Well deserved indeed.

I just thought it very odd that David Gilmour receives a 'Life Time Achievement Award' and there’s a tiny jpeg at the bottom of the page to celebrate.

I realise that this is the front webpage and you only have so much space, but one would have thought an award as important as this would have received slightly more publicity here. The man is a guitar legend!

It does look really odd the way its been displayed. No disrespect to Corinne Bailey Rae but look at the size of her publicity to David’s it says it all really.

Well, Dave Gilmour fans, we here at MOJO love him just as much - that's why we gave him an award saying how great he was.

However, we're not going to print any more pictures from the event on the web site, because all the lovely exclusive shots (including pictures of Dave!) from the MOJO Honours List will be appearing in the next issue of MOJO magazine, so make sure you don't miss your copy. On sale 5 July.

BUT - if you want to hear the sweet music of David's voice (and I'm sure by the amount of comments printed here, there'll be a fair number of you), download the MOJO Honours List Podcast because he's interviewed on it - you can get it from here:

If you don't download it, you'll make David and Polly cry.

Can's Tago Mago getting 'Classic Album' award - absolutely brilliant, greatest LP of all time in my view.
