Mark and David Knofler haven't spoken in 30 years.

They act like sisters.

Everyone gets a medal mentality with the R&R HOF.

Standards should be higher like a minimum amount of Top 10 hits or Albums. Most HOFs these days seem to be everyone gets a medal mentality which just makes it lose its luster.

Tom Scholz was the lead guitarist and founder of Boston. The lead singer was Brad Delp.

Brad Delp had one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. It's borderline criminal that they are not in the HOF. I consider "More Than A Feeling" to be a perfect song, as in it could not have been done any better than it was. Brad's vocals on it give me the chills.

Crap - none of my faves made it (Jane’s Addiction, Oasis, Sinead). DMB will be fun to watch - they’re overdue IMO. Happy for Kool and The Gang. Will be the Cher show when broadcast.

Edit: Sucks that Jimmy Buffett passed before this; I don't know how important he was to music, but he was massive for a very specific 'vibe'....

MC5 and Frampton LONG overdue
