Cool, before it gets lost in the internet void :
As for voting, err...it looks like the Stones office confused January 21st with January 31th !

The Stones garner four NME Awards nominations – Vote for the band to win!
The Rolling Stones have been nominated for four NME Awards:
Best Live Act
Best Music Film for Crossfire Hurricane
Best Book for The Rolling Stones: 50
Music Moment of the Year for their 50 & Counting performances at London’s O2 Arena.
You can vote for the Rolling Stones to win these awards here.
Mick Jagger said: “It’s very nice to be nominated. When I first heard it was four things, I thought, ‘Ooh, blimey! That’s very nice!’” And it’s not a journalists-only thing, it’s not a coterie of closely-knit people choosing. It’s funny, because when we were rehearsing at Wembley Arena last year, it was where we used to do the NME Pollwinners. We remembered, it was the first time we ever played ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’, at one of those Pollwinners concerts!”
Keith Richards said: “The London shows were a real kick in the pants for us…after being off the road for five years, we were having a ball up there…it was great to play with Bill again, to look round and see the man-mountain there was quite a turn on, and Mick Taylor playing his arse off, it was a real joy to play together again.”
Ronnie Wood said: “It’s great to be nominated by NME for such prestigious categories. We are all absolutely delighted”
As for voting, err...it looks like the Stones office confused January 21st with January 31th !

Odd, that you can play just two medium-sized shows in one venue all year and still be nominated by a major media outlet as best live act. That's like being given a [U.S.] Oscar nomination for a film that screens for 2 days in one town. James Brown used to be called the hardest working man in show business, but The Stones are being congratulated for being a hardly working band in show business.

I logged on just so I could vote for the Stones. There are a few idiotic categories and I didn't know who I was voting for in some of them, just picked who I thought looked like a winnner or loser.
But, what the heck, why shouldn't the Stones win? The whole thing is a manufactored popularity anyway.
