Edgar voiced in a lot of interviews that the fame/money part of being a musician is pretty irrelevant to him. Before nominating someone for something I think it'd be best to ask the nominee if he'd feel comfortable with the nomination...
I see your point, as for BM:
[warning, pompous sycophancy follows]
Edgar is an artist [and I hope that he agrees with me], first and foremost, who happens to produce most of his artistic creativity through the medium of music....I as an afficianado of surrealist art, rate Edgar as one of the finest contemporary creatives, who has spent more than 40 years producing work in many media that by turns is challenging, interesting and full of the true meaning of art: the result not the process, and what a result
perhaps it best to leave this for history to judge

Someone may really rave about a particular TD track which I find just ok and vice versa. We all have different likes and dislikes - that's what makes the world go around. With a band like TD who get very little (or no) air play then I just 'take a chance' and buy the cd/dvd without hearing any of it first. To me though I am not taking much of a chance because although there may be the odd track that I find just ok, I know that at least 90% of each release I am either going to like very much or even love to bits - and that is the case every time. They have yet to let me down and I don't think they ever will. Yes they have had some years when I personally thought their stuff was very poor for them (mainly 1991 to around 1995) but that period, thankfully is over and once again the mighty TD are riding high and producing some of their best material since 1990. Keep it coming Edgar 'cause I just can't get enough!! 
). I take very little notice of the opinions of reviewers - otherwise Id have a CD collection I probably never listen too !.
