Policies and Procedures, edited 9/4/10

The Duran Duran to the Rock Hall - Official Site exists in the Facebook, Blogger, and Myspace formats and are open for fans to use to post photos, make comments, invite friends to, and any other social network activities that fans may engage in.

This is a non-profit site. At no time should anyone expect this site to ask for donations, purchases of Duran Duran albums or merchandise, 3rd party consumer products, support of political parties or causes not in line with this site's mission, or donations to other non-profit organizations. If fans wish to engage in these activities, they are free to do so, however this site is neutral in the promotion and support of such activities.

In the case of promotions for site contests, admins are invited (but not required) to give money towards the purchase of prizes. This will be handled on a contest by contest basis. To be fair, the formula for that admin's part will be (Prize Amount in $ / X# of admins contributing + 1). The one is the lead effort organizer's part); any difference will be refunded. So, for example, if prizes cost $30 and 1 admin contributes $50, that $30 is divided in half so that $15 will be their part. If no other admin contributes, $35 will be refunded back to them. Also, if no one enters any contests, the entire amount will be refunded back to the contributing admin(s).

We ask you not to make derogatory comments about the Rock Hall of Fame or bands inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. Please refrain from trolling or making comments that could be construed as sexual harrassment. Derogatory comments about someone's race, religion, or sexual orientation will not be tolerated. As Lead Site Organizer, I reserve the right to remove such comments, as well as posts and pictures that I feel contain these overtones.

This site does not officially represent the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland, Ohio) or Duran Duran.

If you would like to help out with this effort in any way, please feel free to email me. You may also email me if you have concerns about any of the sites or about these policies and procedures. Emails will be kept confidential and not distributed to any outside 3rd party.

Thank you!

Dissed by the Rock Hall of Fame: A list of must-have inductees, Washington Post Article, 3/18/2010, by Jen Chaney and Liz Kelly

"Last night some solid (Iggy and the Stooges) and not so solid (Genesis!?!) acts were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In what has become a yearly debate about which bands and performers make for worthy inductees, we offer our own list of top 10 acts totally neglected by Rock's legitimacy council. (As if rockers ever needed a mainstream stamp of approval, but that's another conversation.)

Keep in mind that Rock Hall rules state that an inductee is eligible for inclusion 25 years after the release of his/her/their first album (hence the lack of Public Enemy, Guns 'N' Roses and the Beastie Boys so far), and that inductees can fall into one of four categories: performers, non-performers, early influences and sidemen.

Our alphabetically arranged list of must-have inductees (honestly, we can't believe these acts didn't make it long ago) ...:

-- Duran Duran -- For some reason, no one ever mentions the Fab Five on their Rock Hall of Fame snub lists. But think of the band that most exemplified the MTV era during the 1980s, and what are the first two words out of your mouth? Duran, followed by another Duran. Not only did these guys pretty much pioneer the music video revolution, they also -- scoff if you will -- were and are legitimate musicians who have worked with and/or influenced everyone from the Killers to Justin Timberlake. Get over your "Union of the Snake" snobbery, Rock Hall of Fame, and induct these well-dressed British boys, or we'll have to both light our torch and wave it."
