Beautiful tune indeed, I'd never heard it. I'm familiar with lots of obscure stuff but apparently I have overlooked something big here.

The Moody Blues deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  They should have been there a long time ago.    Bon Jovi are American, so there would be more votes for them than DS, but they deserve to be in there too.   :)

Yeah, I thought if you slap "Dire Straits" name on anything it will win anything, it will be sold and will have a million views. To me this quiz shows that resurrecting DS is a completely useless idea in any way — spiritually, economically, historically, and turns out that even fame-wise.

I like Bon Jovi, not a big fan, but I quite like some songs and look up to Richie Sambora, amazing guitar player and musician. They have a huge fanbase, that explains a lot.

I'm sure lots of people who vote online and are not DS fans get surprised when they see the name there. Not because DS don't deserve to be nominated but because DS would have been inducted already  :hmm

Bon Jovi and Moody Blues yet in activity; Dire Straits disbanded in 95. For a band that does not in activity, third is a excellent position.

jepp
Dire Straits are 25 years away.
A bit late to nominate them.
20 years too late
anyhow, it would be cool to see them there because they fu***ing belong there
They are Rock'n'Roll

Exactly.

This is partly my problem.  DS should have been inducted back then and not now.  If they wait much longer they will be inducted posthumously!  Another part of me thinks that I don't really care what other people think and why should they be in the same company as some of the junk that is there already.  Then there is the very likelihood that Mark himself will not like this.

Most artists that have been inducted fully deserve to be there, but man... Green Day? Really? Hip hop "bands"? WTH?? And now Radiohead?? Radiohead??? I don't know if I want to see Mark standing next to those pretentious punks. I mean, once you get nominated it's better to make the cut and get in but no need to attend.

DS achieved success in the punk era by the way.

It follows the logical.

Radiohead's lead singer has confirmed he won't attend the cerimony if the band is inducted. He said it's a very american thing and brits don't value that too much. I thought he was a pretentious little s*** before reading this. Now I need a new adjective to describe him. I mean, I kinda agree with him but his band is still overrated as hell. I'm confused  :lol

Am I wrong or is tomorrow the last day to vote?

https://www.rockhall.com/fan-vote/2018-fan-vote

DS are still on number three position but maybe we could give it a little push, just in case. For the ballot fans, until the five more voted will be chosen,so I guess DS are safe to be in that fan ballot but... just in case!
