Let's just say Leonard Cohen is going to be inducted next year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, who would be the appropriate musician to give the speech on Leonard Cohen's career and present him with the award? Who would you want to do it? Which of his fans or contemporaries? Bono? Suzanne Vega? Jennifer Warnes? Joan Baez? Bob Dylan? Jeff Beck? Who? Who?

Plus, which 2 songs should he perform at the ceremony? I think Suzanne and Bird on a Wire.

I would like to see Bob Dylan and David Gray present him with an award. The outgoing contemporary and the incoming (semi) pretender to the crown.

I would like him to sing "Who by Fire" (my personal favourite) and Hallelujah.

I just want him to get inducted like yesterday

Definitely agree on the yesterday thought.

I'd love to see Al Franken (just because I love Al Franken, and he is Jewish, left wing and funny) and Jennifer Warnes do the presentation, and to hear Bird on a Wire and Anthem.
