My wife and I just saw Eddie in Hampton Beach, NH on 5-29-15, which is the 5th time in four years! He still rocks, sings great, has a great band, and the crowds that come out are always satisfied! How can the 'Money-Man' not be in the RR-HOF? The songs are truly timeless and this with his talents truly sustain the 'test of time' that makes him worthy. Go Eddie!

Two Tickets To Paradise should also be an essential song.

On Eddie Money: RIP to the Money Man Eddie Money 70. He has around a dozen big hit songs. I think Take Me Home Tonight 1 of the best 80's songs. Near perfection with Ronnie Spector. It might be too late to nominate Eddie Money this 2019-2020 RRHOF cycle but I believe Eddie Money will get some consideration the next 5 years. He will have some things on his side. His longevity and a New Yorker. Made some memorable songs and appears to be respected by other musicians. Money has a loyal fan base. No doubt they will continue to push for an Eddie Money nomination in next years. A sad day for me and probably several FRL regulars. I remember Eddie Money's songs as a young King. Songs had a good driving beat with some rock guitar. Hopefully, Eddie Money can be Artist Of The Month soon to rediscover some of his material. KING

Rest in peace. A great musician, really. Saw him early this year in Pennsylvania. The guy put on a great show.

Rest easy, Eddie. You may not be Hall material, but you were one of a few minor highlights of the 80's in music. It's such a tragic he died on one of the worst days to die on; Friday the 13th.

RIP Eddie Money, but the Hall just ain't happening for him any time ever (esp. since the same seems to be the case for Warren Devon, sadly), KING...

Eddie Money shares a birthday with Supertramp's Roger Hodgson. Hodgson was born March 21, 1950, a year after Eddie Money. Supertramp had a song called "Give A Little Bit" while Eddie Money had a song called "TAKE A Little Bit" (which, BTW, has a keyboard riff similar to Supertramp's "Child Of Vision") Also, Eddie Money died on the 45th anniversary of Supertramp's breakthrough album "Crime of The Century"

One more time: Rest in Peace Eddie Money, 1949-2019.

I wouldn't be surprised if Eddie Money's passing gets him nominated--I think there are precedents where a death brings a reconsideration--but his chances of actually making the Hall are iffy at best.

It doesn't really matter anyway. The hall of fame is a joke. Eddie was never a narcissist like most of the ones in there. He loved his fans, and they loved him. That is all that really matters!

Eddie definitely belongs in the R RHOF. He has worked steadily in the rock business for the last 40 some years. Hit after hit, always a great show. He dedicated his life to rock and roll and treated his fans like family. It would be a disgrace not to induct Eddie Money into the Rrhof. Thank you from a Edhead.

It's baffling that Eddie isn't in at all. He had so many hits, and is still beloved by many! R.I.P.

Soul and rap artists….no Eddie money? A complete joke rock and roll hall of fame or artist hall of fame? Let's get back to our rock and roll stars. Put Eddie and his band in. They deserve it. The go gos before Eddie. Cmon man. Show some class. Thanks put in Eddie.

There will never be another...Eddie Money's vocals, songwriting, band arrangements, shows and concerts, all-time 100% excellent performances, media interviews, fan relations and professional relationships...and SO MUCH MORE! Eddie Mahoney has lived, breathed, eaten, dreamed and dedicated to the music all the way. His fans and friends make up an army. He will be heard forever into the future and on the Moon and Mars. Not others. Eddie Money. A timeless classic individual whose material pleasures more every time. Thank you, EM I love you
