Great, don't forget you can vote once every day upto 5th December. I am surprised that Kate Bush is so far down the list. I have a good feeling about DS getting the nomination though. If they do get it, it would be great to see the original line up on stage again, even if they don't play, just to see them again would be enough for me. Dire Straits have a huge musical legacy, and it is only right that it is celebrated.

Hmm, Moody Blues seem to be making a move after a slow start.
Just in case anybody hasn't worked it out for themselves, if you have more than one email address you can vote from each of them once a day :waytogo:

Interestingly, on MKNews they have this:

Do they know something we don't? Has Mark agreed to attend? perform? :shock:

I have noticed that a random e mail address would do it as well!
So I have loaded it up with a few random of "mine" here and there :lol:
You know, few votes, it doesn't take a much while I'm while away :)

ps
it's always good to find a time for a while away in this stressful world of today anyway B)
especially if it is followed by a Song!

At my time, about 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time in the States, here are the current vote totals:

1 Bon Jovi 172,941
2. Moody Blues 127,219
3. Dire Straits 116,752
4. The Cars 99,553
5. Eurythmics 78,553

I do hope fans aren't giving up on voting! It kind of seems like that. I did notice that the issue of voting once in 24 hours seems to be strictly enforced, as I was blocked from voting my second time because it was a bit short of the 24 hours. I nearly forgot to vote later! :wallbang:

I understand Bon Jovi having a big following but I find it difficult to imagine there are still enough "rabid" Moody Blues fans out there to be producing the number of votes thay have achieved - They must all be retired by now and spending all day making multiple votes from spurious email addresses " :lol: :wallbang:

The Moody Blues I can understand, it's The Cars I don't get, I have only ever heard one song from them!! Although looking at Wikipedia I see they have released 7 albums, their first album released the same year Dire Straits released their debut too.

Bon Jovi is really surging ahead. And it looks to me like a number of those who were enthused earlier to vote have really slowed down!
