You can vote once per day, and if you have various mails and a facebook account, you can vote multiple times per day.

I did it  ;D
You might get lucky, now and then

It's nice and all but Mark is up to far more classier efforts these days. I also think a DS reunion at this point would be cringeworthy. Yikes.

The number is 5, but fan voting is almost symbolic.

There's nothing cringeworthy about playing one or two songs with John, Pick, Guy and maybe David...It's not like he has to play all those crazy fast licks like he used to back in the day, or play long progressive songs like Telegraph Road. Just get there and do Brothers in Arms or another hit he can actually play and that's it.

I would not like a full reunion tour, but I'd be happy to see them play just once again for one last time.

I really don't know if I'd like to see Mark play with Alan again, but if it comes to that that's because Mark is ok with that then why should not I be too.

how great would it be if the nomination jump starts Mark into embracing the DS material?

DS should have been in the R'n'R Hall of Fame years ago if it had any real meaning or even credibility.  I have no respect for it or even interest when I look at some who are there when DS isn't and therefore feel it would be hypocritical to vote.  I doubt very much that Mark will mind either.  Sorry folks.

To seem nice I guess. Some 800 'experts' are the ones who do decide.

I think like you, but I think also that name of 'our favourite band' must be in :thumbsup
