More to the point, why the hell has Pete Townshend been ignored?
Regardless of the publicity surrounding the "case" against him, his work supporting young musicians, drink & drug rehabilitation charities and cancer charities as well as the outstanding contribution he has mede to Rock and Pop music is far and above that of Elton John and Mick Jagger.

Roger was awarded it because of his amazing efforts towards raising the profile of The Teenage Cancer Trust and the massive amount of money he has arranged through the Albert Hall concerts staged over the last 5 years.
He collects his award tomorrow.
Before you know it, he'll be running around banging coconut shells together and shouting "Neee".

Perhaps we should consider Brian's efforts.
Organized the Mercury Phoenix Trust Fund
Participated in Live Aid
Organized Tribute Concert for AIDS awareness, and combined with Bohemian Rhapsody's rerelease and Somebody to Love with George Michael (both of which have eanred more than one million British pounds) has raised millions and millions of pounds toward AIDS research.
Helped organize (with Bono and Nelson Mandela) the 46664 concerts.
Has used his capital to help further education and raise awareness about the importance of studying our solar system (and it truly is important)
Need I go on?
The thing is, they always wait until the really great one is dead. Like in the Beatles, John Lennon gets shot and Paul McCartney cops the knighthood. Our luck will be that the 3 interesting members of Queen will cark it, and John Deacon will get knighted.
Typical.

All four members of Queen are interesting, but the one who really should have got it was Freddie.
PS: John Deacon won't get it either
