oh well...we all (most of us) tried. Artist of the Year Album of the Year but we just couldn't make it for song of the year...he should not have had 2 songs there. If you add them together...he'd win!
You are so right!

February 11, 2014 -- Ultimate Classic Rock Paul McCartney Wins Artist and Album of the Year Ultimate Classic Rock Awards The combination of his artistic legacy and continued vitality has paid off well for Paul McCartney. He is the winner of the two most prestigious 2014 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards -- Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. McCartney was a landslide winner in the Artist of the Year category, taking 64 percent of the vote. In second place was Black Sabbath, who, despite putting out a solid reunion album, "13", only received 20 percent. David Bowie s surprise comeback only netted him 5 percent, which was still good enough for third place. Album of the Year was considerably closer, with McCartney's "New" beating out "13" by a total of 45-38 percent. Bowie s "The Next Day" was, again, in third place with 5 percent. If not for Rush, the former Beatle would have had a clean sweep of the top four awards. McCartney finished in second place behind the Canadian trio in the Best Tour of 2013 category -- we attended his excellent Milwaukee show -- by a tally of 36 percent to 28 percent, and his "Queenie Eye" (36.8 percent) narrowly lost to Rush's "The Garden" (37.4 percent). McCartney could have been a victim of split-voting. His collaboration with the surviving members of Nirvana, "Cut Me Some Slack," finished in third place, with 8 percent. Congratulations to Paul McCartney on his two 2014 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards! Who Was the Artist of the Year? Paul McCartney 64.43% Black Sabbath 20.32% David Bowie 5.25% The Rolling Stones 4.59% Lemmy Kilmister 2.57% Elton John 1.55% Bob Dylan 1.28% What Was 2013's Album of the Year?

I thought the results were promising, not only because he won two categories, but he also came in a close second in the two categories he didn't win...and if you consider is somewhat limited touring schedule (compared to other top selling touring bands), it's all that more impressive
