Elvis Costello, the Clash, Sting and the Police, AC/DC and the Righteous Brothers. No women, no blacks. Again. (No, the Righteous Brothers are NOT black, and shame on you for not knowing that) The Rock HOF is actually just Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner and an associate. They pick winners, have a dinner and keep the money, The HOF Museum is not, as some people think, part of the deal. It's separate, although they keep the money too. My nominations: The Dells and Patti Smith.
I think the Police are the most overated band in history. But I love Elvis Costello. Patti Smith is good too.
