Geldof is most famous for his brainchild Band AIDs, where he personally went through all boysband members and gave 'em a right good bumming - especially those in Duran Duran. The DVD of Band AIDs won Best DVD at the Shockwaves NME awards in 2006, narrowly beating "Big Natural Tits 10" - which marked a resurgence in the "Big Natural Tits" series (of course never really recapturing the glory days of "Big Natural Tits 1" and "Big Natural Tits 2"), for the accolade.
