Metallica to get 'Nobel Prize of music'

The rock band will be honoured with Sweden's Polar Prize, and are giving the prize money to charity.



I have never personally heard of the Polar Prize, so calling it the Nobel of music miiiiiight be a stretch, but congratulations to the band.

Love or hate their music, they have had a profound impact on the music industry, and the music sharing community in other ways, over the years.

They're the first metal band to win - strange seeing as metal is hugely popular in Sweden?

£90,000 prize

Glad to hear they are donating the prize money - I don't think they will miss it, do you?
