Bruce Hornsby made 2 of the greatest 80's songs in The Way It Is & Mandolin Rain. Has so much respect in the music industry. Just a brilliant piano player & had enough hits to warrant induction. Hope he gets inducted soon. KING

Rolling Stone called him "the godfather of indie rock" in the new issue, because of his influence on Bon Iver and Ryan Adams. Not too shabby. Probably deserves to be in someday down the line, not one of the biggest snubs, though.

I keep getting chances to see him and missing them, which is a real bummer. He played a festival I was at last year and was one of the reasons I got tickets, but his set conflicted with Jaimoe (of the Allman Brothers Band) so I missed it. I'm very happy with that decision though, because I got a signed CD, and got to take a picture with him and he told me I looked like Berry Oakley. A couple weeks ago, Bruce & the Noisemakers hit Green Bay, but I already had Yonder Mountain String Band tickets for the same night in Milwaukee. Also missed FRL favorite Moody Blues that day who played in Appleton.

It is truly a shame that a piano player/songwriter of Bruce's caliber has not even been considered. He hasn't played with "the range" in over 2 decades so they should not be considered. As previously noted he has the hits to prove his chops but whats more is the music he has been recording since those hits, as well as, the huge amount of respect he has in the industry. Should have been a shoein. What's wrong with the voters out there?????

Great singer/songwriter and pianist. One of my favorite songs is "Every Little Kiss" but I don't see him making the hall. Probably not prolific or influential enough. Mind you,when you look at some of the garbage that has got in, Bruce seems more than deserving.
