Honorary "Call It Quits" Award
This years goes to KISS for their lackluster new album. Composed of simply re-recorded hits and b-sides, the album was a complete tank. This band should have called it quits a long time ago when their live show went from "a spectacle" to the equivalent of shooting a bottle rocket with the stereo on.

Honorary "This Guy Deserves An Award" Award
Chi Cheng of Deftones was involved in a terrible car accident in November of 2008 which left him in a coma. He has yet to awaken from the "minimally conscious state", but while in the hospital he has fought off numerous infections while being in and out of ICU. The One Love For Chi Foundation was founded in efforts to help raise funds and moral support for the family. The foundation has since raised nearly $83,000. We all still keep Chi in our thoughts and prayers, if you're into that kind of thing.
