this does give the impression Dire Straits' chance has already gone and the idea of their induction will disappear sooner or later.Īn oddity is the lack of sites dedicated to lobbying for Dire Straits' induction - I have seen them for artists by any possible account less likely. Yet, they have not as far as I know been on any ballot. Given that so many record guides I recall reading chastise Dire Straits for their lack of influence on musicians even though they were incredibly popular, I have had the impression that Dire Straits' chance of being inducted lay almost exclusively in the first few years. This is a case seldom looked at, but with a big contrast to The Cure.
