I think the Bee Gees are in.

The Monkees should be in the Hall of Fame!

Definitely Alice Cooper

and yeah I gotta agree with Peter Gabriel, Patti Smith, and Dire Straits as well...
Come on what's up with that era?? NO One got nominated so far...

You know they wrote "To Love Somebody" for Otis Redding, but sadly he died before he could record it.

I think he was all set to record it as well. It would have been perfect for him. Then maybe we would have been spared Michael Bolton's version. :puker

Yeah, their late '60s stuff is brilliant. I also really like "Lonely Days." Very Lennonish vocals. Al Green does a great version of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart."

Getting back to "To Love Somebody," there was a great version of this done with Rod Stewart and Booker T and the MGs back in the mid '70s. (Before Al Jackson was murdered) A great reminder of why Rod Stewart once really mattered.

A look at my March 15th list (above) of those deserving, but not in the hall (along with other people's listings), reveal the flaws in The Rock and Hall of Fame.
In light of that, Wings is in good company!

Rick's point is well taken, the system is flawed!

Are Steppenwolf in?

Eddie V, NO they are not! add them to the list. :cry:
