Despite not putting out a new studio album in 2013, Rush still managed to fare extremely well in the 2014 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees won three categories: Song of the Year, Best Tour and Best Live Album of 2013.
Aerosmith's 2013 documentary 'Rock for the Rising Sun' won the Ultimate Classic Rock Awards DVD of the Year title, handily beating out fellow heavyweights like Rush and the Beatles for this fan-chosen honor.
With two weeks of voting down and three still to go, Rush, Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath and Paul McCartney have taken early leads in various categories of the 2014 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards.
The Song of the Year award typically is one of the toughest to choose, since the rock genre has always favored full albums over individual songs. And this year is no exception, with rock legends going up against a couple of younger artists in a field dominated by the many of the same acts who are up for Album of the Year.
