OK, why is it irritating then? 

[superval99]

Pass.  Next question, please?   

[theknopfrules]

I find it irritating too and I don't know why. I know MK doesn't need the validation, maybe I do, even though the honor lost much of it's luster as they keep inducting musicians/songwriters who have accomplished much less.

Pass.  Next question, please?   

Why did the chicken cross the road?

[superval99]

Pass!   That's unfair - it's an A-Level question and I don't have any!

As always these things are a load of *********.

In this world people dont realise how good you were until your not around anymore - Roy Orbison on this side of the pond being an example. Unfortunately I think that MK through his own making or whatever will be classed in the same fashion. That is unless he does a Police sort of a thing on it & re invents himself in the DS mode for a world tour  - dont think thats going to happen too soon though!!!

I agree with everyone that it is total nonsense looking at the list of artists on it before MK.  I've also thought MK wouldn't be interested or care or enjoy the attention etc.  Like the fact he has never authorised a biography. Then he does a TV show called Legends.  So he must have a certain amount of will to see his work recognised which I always believed he didn't because he is constantly self deprecating and hiding in the shadows.  So maybe he hasn't been asked yet.

I was surprised that Neil Diamond has only just been nominated, but he has been recognised before in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
