Dara, I don't think Queen has ever won the award - at least not when Freddie was around. Other notable omissions are Devo and Weird Al. Elvis Presley should also be acknowledged, even if he died 6-7 years before MTV started up.

I believe Bjork won a European Vanguard Award.

This is the best I can find all the facts - the MTV site is quite useless - I have a history of MTV book, but it's MIA.
