It tours relentlessly, records in the studio days on end and is mocked by hairbrushes the world over.
It never travels first-class, happy to slum it in a wooden crate with its pals, cymbal and amp.
It has nutured and encouraged young wannabes into universal superstars and what praise has it received?
Sound engineers abuse it, artists slobber over it, some dress it up in red hankies and a few particularly angry performers nightly crack its skull on the stage floor.
The Mic has remained true to its principles of service to all involved in the music industry. Its motto "The Customer Is Always Right" lives on in the family business. Mr and Mrs Mic spawned countless little mics who now run the operation from a basement in New Orleans.
A worthy contender in this category.
