The New Zealand Music Radio Programmer of the Year
why arent the bands from yesteryear being considered there are many older musicians who can run rings around the younger generation and their music knowledge far outweighs the younger artists.
some older musicians misical talents span from the 50's to now and they are not being recognised. Their older music is appealing to the younger generation as well. I think these awards should include real musical talent even if they are long in the tooth. They are still popular to day.
