Neil is totally right about Crazy Horse. One of the all-time greatest rock and roll bands, who deserve to be in the Hall of Fame as much as anyone else. I hope that it happens soon.

[@misterjim4458]

The same can be said about Little Feat/Lowell George as well... RRHOF is a joke...

[@jameswilford5923]

@@misterjim4458 it is a joke. I believe that bands can get in real easy. I guess it has to be 25 years since your first album that went gold to even be mentioned in the voting room. Music today is not music. It’s producers making there talent successful they deserve the award not the artist. So it makes me wonder 25 years from now are we going to see todays bubblegum artist in the RRHOF. I still think the b52’s should of been in the fame way before the Foo fighters. I’m not knocking the Foo fighters. Just saying
