every year this subject comes up and every year I contribute the same thing to the discussion, so I'll say it again this year 

Why should we care if he doesn't and the "Rock and Roll" Hall of fame is a joke because Madonna and Abba (amongst other "Rock and Roll" acts ) are in it and, although I have nothing against those 2 acts they are hardly Rock, are they?

Who the heck is Darlene Love?

[Hoops McCann]

I think Mark Knopfler wants DS to be in the HoF as much as the Sex Pistols wanted their band to be in the HoF.

Yeah but come on people 'Donna Summer' is in there lol I lost respect for the whole Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing years ago

For what it's worth Donna Summer is a real legend to me, some of those disco records were amazing.

Darlene Love, well, less so, but she's still had a great career, icluding singing on loads of great Duane Eddy records. Saw her in Hairspray on Broadway in 2005 when I went to see MK, and of course she was Danny Glover's wife in Lethal Weapon.

Darlene Love brilliance

Lol I wasnt bashing Donna Summer at all, I meant it in the essence of it meaning to be the 'Rock and Roll' hall of fame.

I love Donna Summer too! I love so many types of music.

There is very little I don't like apart from heavy Thrash Metal or Rap

Darlene Love brilliance

 

Yes, well, I do have this single of Guitar Man and a few more Duane Eddy records lurking in my cupboard.  I was a great Duane Eddy fan, but somehow his guitar doesn't excite me at all these days!  I know MK liked DE a lot too, he talked about "Because They're Young"  on the 'Roots' programme.  As for Darlene Love, I can't for the life of me see why she, who was just a backing singer really, would be in the R&RHOF and MK/DS is not!

because the Rock and Roll Hall of fame is not what its name indicates. It's a big joke. Why is it so important to you?

[superval99]

It isn't!   It's just extremely irritating!
