The 2005 Kerrang! Awards winners have been announced at The Brewery in London on Thursday August 25. Here are the winners, as voted by the readers:
Classic Songwriter Award: Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor

Best Single: Foo Fighters for "Best of You"

Best Album: My Chemical Romance for "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge"
Best Live Band: Green Day
Best British Band: Funeral for a Friend
Best Band On The Planet: Green Day
Lifetime Achievement: Killing Joke
Icon Award: Marilyn Manson
Iron Maiden have been inducted into the Kerrang! Hall of Fame. Also, Kerrang! thought that a few people should be given recognition for other reasons so they awarded Iron Maiden frontman, Bruce Dickinson, with the Homer Simpson "Conducting Oneself with Quiet Dignity" Award for not using his acceptance speech as a cheap shot against the Osbournes, but merely thanking his band and fans.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you 'broken face' on the "only band worth rekonin" in the award list above. The Lifetime Achievement Award, in my opinion, has been properly awarded to Killing Joke. I love Killing Joke. They've been around for a long time and I think they've been overlooked for years on what they've contributed. Of course Metallica covering "The Wait" didn't hurt their popularity. Of course I'm pretty sure if it were not for Metallica, some of us would have never known of bands such as Killing Joke, Diamond Head, and even so far as Motorhead and The Misfits. Three cheers for Killing Joke! Oh!...and umm...Metallica to!

WTF happened to Kerrang!?!?!?
Trivium, NIN and Killingjoke are the only deserving bands up there.........If Manson were still able to move the Earth as he did in the mid and late 90's I might agree with that nod bet nah he churned out some real garbage with that last record......
