ULTIMATE CLASSIC ROCK FAN CHOICE


The results are in on the Ultimate Classic Rock Fan Choice Awards 2017 - and Jeff Lynne's ELO took Best Live Album with 52% of the vote.

UCR:
Speaking of concerts, UCR voters also had some pretty strong opinions regarding who put out the best live album of the year. Wembley or Bust, the latest live release from Jeff Lynne's ELO, earned that title with a solid 52 percent of the vote — far and away outpacing their closest contender, the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
And Tom Petty won Artist of the Year with 53% of the vote.
