Richard Thompson is way overdue, hoping for 2021 induction!

So much better than The Byrds. This induction is long past overdue. And Richard Thompson's solo career is worthy of induction as a solo artist.

If the Hall of Fame is about artistic merit and not money, Fairport wshould be founder members

Really good band but I think their music is way too obscure for them to be considered for nomination let alone induction. So I think Richard Thompson should be inducted under AME.
