Classic Rock editor Siân Llewellyn says: "What a night! I'd heard rumours that Hollywood was one of the best places for a party, and this evening proved those rumors true. The past, present and future of high-voltage rock 'n' roll came out to celebrate the music that has soundtracked all of our lives. Only at the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour could you glance around and see the likes of Gregg Allman, Ozzy Osbourne, Jeff Lynne, QUEEN and THE DOORS, to name but a handful. Roll on next year
