10 Outrageous Omissions From The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
For every Nirvana or Guns n Roses there's a Madonna or Donna Summer, with some of the most deserving bands still being overlooked.
Let's get this out of the way: your favourite weird band is not on this list. Like the music business that spawned it, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a political animal. A list of obscure bands that you've just got to hear would be missing the point. So, sorry, no Husker Du for you. It's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, not the College Music Journal. Keeping the nature of the institution in mind, this is a list of popular bands or artists who have yet to be inducted into the prestigious Hall. Some may find their way. Some will leave you saying, "Keep dreaming." Some were just put here to annoy That Metal Show's Eddie Trunk. The performers listed here not only had successful careers, but paved the way for others, including some who have already made it into the Hall. So draw the ace of spades and get ready for a magic carpet ride, because the boys are back in town.
