Classic Rock 2012 AwardsVoting for the 2012 Classic Rock Awards, sponsored by the UK's respected Classic Rock magazine, has now opened for fans of the nominated bands worldwide to cast their votes for their favourites.

In the "Reissue Of The Year" category, you can vote for the DSOTM Immersion set, which they note: "As a cornerstone release of the epic Why Pink Floyd? reissue programme, The Dark Side of The Moon was treated to a stunning 2011 remaster, and released in Discovery, Experience and Immersion editions. Featuring newly minted packaging across the range, the highly collectable Immersion edition featured a host of rare, unreleased and alternate audio and video content in both standard and high resolution across CD/DVD and BluRay. The Dark Side Of The Moon was the first record to get this reissue treatment, followed by Wish You Were Here and The Wall."

Elsewhere, John Edginton's fascinating film, "Pink Floyd :"The Story Of Wish You Were Here" has been nominated in the "DVD/Film Of The Year" category. Our review of this can be read here.

There are a number of other categories but a number of them are not open to readers' votes. If you decide to place your votes in this popular Awards, make sure you register as part of the voting process, otherwise your vote won't count... It would be nice for the Floyd to be recognised further - in the their sister publication, Prog Magazine, Pink Floyd won the "Grand Design" category for the Immersion reissues, in Prog's 2012 Awards.
