Hey Brits, why doesn't the Queen knight Roger Daltrey?

She knighted Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger. Or is it that Roger doesn't have enough money?

1. I guess that Blair doesn't like him.
The Queen doesn't get much choice, with only a few honours remaining in her personal gift...it's on the recommendation of the Prime Minister most of the time :eyes:

2. For some reason, moderately well-known English conductors
seem to have an instant pre-acceptance for British knighthood. Makes no sense. A by-product from earlier years.

7. i still trying to figure out why the queen
hasn't brought me into "the most noble order of the garter."

i would settle for supernumerary knighthood.
