Take Adele out and this has to be the worst list of winners I've ever seen.
Queen - Global icon is fair enough, but for Adele to get tokenism is a joke.
As is Linkin Park- Best Rock
or
Thirty Seconds To Mars - Best Alternative - Best World Stage.
Music, the music I grew up loving, has long since ceased to be.

Well, I have to disagree. Some of todays music I find really quite good. And I'm 48.
You must remember this was MTV European Award. So the votes are from europe as a whole. They are probably from pre-pubescent children who follow trends.
Whether you like Lady-Gaga or not, she does write a tune.
Eminem, not my cup of tea, but again is very clever with his lyrics.
Bruno Mars, well his first Album is fantastic, and if it were a Tape, I'd have worn it out.
Katy Perry, Best Live, well I have just seen her at the MEN and she was boss.
But MTV is a commercial enterprise, and they are only interested in making money, so the awards will go to those generally who make them money, and not necessarily the best. A lot like X-Factor. Why do the Judges always keep the ones with the most ££££ making potential?
