I highly doubt Clapton lives in Ohio, but gave you a like for the rest of the post!
What you doubt me Chomsky??? :mrgreen:

Alright, now that I see this post it might be plausible. Pls disregard my earlier post.
I believe you said Cincinnati. Not Columbus. I have no information as to Columbus. If he had a home in Cincinnati, I'd know about it
No I didn't, and odd because Elenore was indeed a hit - too. Yeah, the lyrics are really goofy & bubble-gummy, but they seem to work with it for some reason.You realize that Elenore is the reverse of Happy Together. They wrote it as a joke because the record label wanted a big hit...they put in really insipid lyrics. The song is like Happy Together in reverse. Funny stuff.
Sorry about the confusion TD, He did make multiple appearances in Cincinnati in 2018. The home in the Dublin area would be just a little over a 100 miles away. A couple hour drive.
Not me! :mrgreen:What you doubt me Chomsky??? :mrgreen:
That's a great list, Roddy. Some great foundational players and player's players there!Big Mama Thorton, Warren Zevon, Roy Buchanan, Jethro Tull, Bad Religion, The Doobie Brothers and MC-5 are all deserving. King Crimson was great but they also wrote and performed the worst song ever in modern jazz-rock history so I will withhold the power and the glory and keep them in the hall of the mountain king rather than the hall of fame. Sister Rosetta Tharpe should be up-graded from an important influence award to the actual Hall of Fame itself. Emerson Lake and Palmer should be inducted too. If Etta James isn't in there, she should be. Same with Koko Taylor.
Cheers and rock on!

What do you think of She's my Girl & You Showed Me?
Yeah, but he created a psychedelic pop masterpiece with "Journey to the Center of the Mind"! I'd almost consider putting him in just for that!

Whoa! That was pretty amazing.
There's only one Steve Mariott. He fell out of the cradle, knowing he wanted to be a front man! I remember this version, but forgot about it. I don't even remember where I heard it, but I know I never had it in my collection.
Thanks for that! :cheers:
Harry Nilsson! FFS, the guy was a hit machine, and he had a beautiful voice!
Warren Zevon...come on, good old LA rock and roll!
Sun Ra, the most original funk ever.
The Mothers of Invention. Frank Zappa is in the HOF (nice of them to wait till after he died), but the band deserves to be there.
And, Captain Beefheart, yeah, its a bit odd, but once you get it....
Well thanks for that, buddy. I took a glance it its reviews, and it does look pretty good. So, I'm going to grab it. Unfortunately, it's going to my reading pile that's maybe a year or two in size! :mrgreen:Great! Howard Kaylan has a very good and funny book out about his career, worth a read!

I selected the Doobie brothers from your list. They had
2 No. 1 Hits (Black Water & What a Fool Believes)
5 Top 10 Hits
27 Songs in top 100
That is far and away more than anyone else on the list.
In my opinion:
The Guess Who should be in. (1965 - 1974)
1 No. 1 Hit American Woman
6 Top 10 Hits
19 Songs in top 100
And they were competing for air time against bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who.
I love Jethro Tull - Aqualung is an album I still play in its entirety from time to time (and still know most of the words to every song)
They should get there because they were an early pioneer of the soon to be called Prog Rock.
But in terms of Billboard, The Guess Who were way up on them
Jethro Tull (1973 - 1977)
7 top 100 songs (1973 - 1977)
with their best coming in at 11th and 12th (Living in the Past & Bungle in the Jungle)
