Joan Jett and Jeff Beck must be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Two talented animal loving vegetarians.

Joan Jett deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No doubt about it.

Joan is a good choice, however, it’s too bad Bruce Springsteen is on tour because there’s no doubt he, Steve and Max would have been there to induct and perform. They are Dave Clark Five junkies!!!

Forget all these people, there are many good, but unknown musicians and songwriters out there, forget all this celebrity hype. Give music a chance

Joan Jett is a great person to do Dave Clark 5 songs, her being a fan. I think she did two covers by the DC5, Bits and pieces and Antway you want it, Dave Clark 5 FOREVER!!!!

The DC5 made some of the greatest singles ever made! So did Joan Jett with Kenny Laguna.

Keep on Rockin’!

hmm . . . | 3/6/2008, 7:57 pm EST

I apologize. I mean, “The Dave Clark 3″

If they don’t hurry up and have the induction ceremony, they might induct “The Dave Clark Zero”!

Now THAT would be funny!

NO - there are only 3 members left. Denis Payton the sax player died of cancer in December 2006

hmmm . . . | 3/6/2008, 2:01 pm EST

isn’t it “the dave clark 4″ now???

tropico | 3/6/2008, 6:43 pm EST

no subtleties? thanks for expertiese on the construction of music, Beethoven.

the intl | 3/6/2008, 1:11 am EST

I’m assuming she’ll do “Bits & Pieces” - it’s more her speed - no subtleties.

Mike/Houston,TX. | 3/5/2008, 8:02 pm EST

It would be a whole lotta fun to hear JOAN JETT rock the house solo on a medley of DC5’s “Glad All Over” - “Can’t You See That She’s Mine”.
