Los Angeles - Rock queen Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics and American alternative rockers Green Day have been named as the recipients of the honorary Pop Awards in the US later this month. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers will honour Lennox with the Founders Award, while Green Day will be honoured with the ASCAP Creative Voice Award. Past recipients include Neil Young, Paul McCartney and Tom Waits. Green Day's Creative Voice Award is given to artists whose career achievements are matched by their contributions to their community. 'Annie Lennox is one of the finest musical voices of our time - unlike any other, uncompromising and unpredictable,' President Marilyn Bergman said. 'Both as singers and songwriters, Green Day are one of the most musically ambitious, innovative groups, as relevant today as when they emerged on the scene as new artists.' © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
