Thanks for posting some of Diamond's resume.

The guy was an all-around music machine and major force.

What annoys me about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is its overrated criteria and points given for "edginess" and avant garde crap.

Even John Cougar-Mellencamp (ROCK in the USA) and Paul Simon (Me & Julio Down By The School Yard) copied Diamond's signature riffs.

Those of post-baby-boom age likely aren't aware that Neil wasn't always a lounge lizard.

Pretty good rocker back in the '60s...great writer, too.
