Absolute disgrace that they are not in there (the R&R Hall of Fame). Isn't it time for fans like us to kick-start ($$$$) a new and true R&R Hall of Fame? Not just for BOA, but so many legendary others who will never get a second glance from the corporate snobbery that passes for music criticism these days.

It pisses me off.

I propose what (off the top of my head) could be called "Deep Cuts" R&R Hall of Truth.

Got their first album in 1970 when I was 14, I think they were a seminal southern rock band. It's a shame they're not in the hall. They forgot about them just like The Moody Blues Jimmy Gunn

Lay off the moonshine already, if only for your liver's sake...

Black Oak Arkansas should definitely be in the Rock and roll hall of Fame. They were before lynerd Skynyrd . They supposedly influenced David Lee Roth. Also played in several music festivals around the world including California Jam in 1974.

One of the great live acts back in the day, not much radio play, music was way to suggestive back then,,sold several millions of albums, top concert draw for many years in the 1970s due to the preachings of Jim Dandy!
LONG LIVE RAUNCH N ROLL.

Rest in Peace Harvey "Burley" Jett, guitarist (also played banjo and keyboards as well as vocals, from 1970 to 1974), 1949(?)-2022.
