Wow, now I'm pleasantly surprised, didn't see it coming. If you asked me I'd have come up with exactly the same names but never expected the hall of fame to pick them. Maybe Bon Jovi and Nina Simone, but for the others I really thought they were going for Rage Against the Machine, Judas Priest and Radiohead.

Again, I think Mark is above this bs but it's a nice to have. If the outcome is a little reunion, especially if David is in and Alan is out, it will be worth it. I won't dare say it ain't gonna happen cos I said DS wouldn't be inducted and look at where we are sitting now but I wouldn't hold my breath. Still, congratulating Guy and begging for it now!  :lol :lol :lol

I always said I didn't care about whether or not they were in the R&RHoF, but I'm really pleased for them and now I'm wondering what will happen at the ceremony.   :think     Congratulations DS!

Did I told you that I can see the future?

Mk is going to refuse attend the induction ceremony in April due to agenda problems.

You'll see  ;D
You might get lucky, now and then

Lol awards in creative industries generally make no sense. If I were MK, I'd avoid this thing... And get an award "The most badass HoF inductee 2018".

Pleased for everyone on here for whom it mattered, but personally I still couldn't give a toss.

Awards are just popularity contests.  Why do you think ABBA are there before DS?  Because they're better?

Bands often reunite with former members at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and this year's class presents many occasions for such once-in-a-lifetime moments. Dire Straits hasn't performed in any incarnation since their split in 1992, and frontman Mark Knopfler has yet to indicate whether or not he's open to the idea of a reunion performance.

I like this. The way RS writing the acknowledgement of Mark being the boss and DS hasn't performed in any incarnation since 1992

Mr. Bon Jovi said he was looking forward to the ceremony, though he was not aware that all the groups present traditionally participate in an all-star jam at the end.

I'm glad for this, and I have a (very little) hope that it will give us a surprise
