Mark Knopfler's music has evolved more than any other musician in recent history and he definitely deserves to be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Through his lyrics and his wonderful music, Mr. Knopfler has taught me more about life and history than any other musician. I love his music and am looking forward to many more creations from him. The music industry owes him this honor.

Mark Knopfler isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet? That's crazy! Even Chet Atkins was impressed by Knopfler's guitar playing (AND THAT SAYS SOMETHING, CHET IS THE KING OF COUNTRY GUITAR), so much so that Chet often invited Mark to play tv specials and concerts with him (including the 1987 Chet Atkins and Friends) His work with Dire Straits and his solo career are both Hall of Fame worthy. Just listen to Sultan of Swing.... Mark should be in the RRHF for that one alone....

He's already in the hall of fame with Dire Straits, so don't expect him to be inducted for his solo career.

He diserves recognition for quitting dire straits when it go so big and on top of his game . And his song writing and colaberations with many musicians and styles of music. Which has lasted over forty years

He released a single in 1983. It was off a soundtrack, but certainly it should count.

Mark Knopfler was in Dire Straits and they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. That's the only thing I know about Mark Knopfler.
