Jethro Tull should be in there, The flute as a rock instrument?; as a lead rock instrument!?!? Who else pulled that off? Yes, King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, The Moody Blues!?!?!?!?!?!? These guys created and defined a genre for decades and made music - 90% of which stands the test of time and still sounds great. I mean AC/DC is in and these guys aren't!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Of course, what do I know. I like Ovation guitars... | ||

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame There is also a link I have listed before that lists all of the artists eligible. It's a true shame that some great innovators and pioneers will never be inducted. | ||

Yes, Geddy's voice may be annoying at times [especially in their early years], and that they may not be associated with Top 40 record singles, but all their albums have been certified gold and their live performances are quite legendary. Carole King? Definitely! She was responsible for putting a lot of singers on the map, through the songs that she wrote for them. Her Tapestry LP, is a greatest hits album in itself. | ||

[back to the Am I Old question] I also was pleased that not so many people had voted for them. Allows me to maintain my feeling of exclusivity! | ||
