Showing Original Post only (View all)Now that Rush looks like they will probably make the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.... [View all]
my question is this.
What other bands have been totally overlooked for the R&RHOF that clearly deserve to be in there. Remember this has to be a band that first came into existance 25+ years ago. So you may think Creed or Nickelback or Justin Bieber should be included but none of them have been around for 25 years (and if you think that you have wretchedly horrible musical tastes).
Rush has NOT been officially selected but I think they were finally included and will get the pick. Prog Rock fans have been complaining for ages that some of the greatest Prog Rock bands have been overlooked because Jann Wenner, editor of Rolling Stone Magazine, has stated he doesn't see the justification of Prog Rock music.
I'm hoping that after Rush makes it that in the next couple of years bands such as Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, Yes and King Crimson will finally get their recognition. I also think that Jeff Lynne should be included not only because he is a talented musician (ELO, Traveling Wilburys and solo work) but he has produced some great albums too.
Who else do you think has been overlooked for the ROck & Roll Hall of Fame.
