Without Graham Parker and the Rumour in the Hall of Fame the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is nothing but a joke.

There is no rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame without rock ‘n’ roll Graham Parker was and is what rock ‘n’ roll was about in the 70s. Gram Parker was the crazy shit / as close to punk Rock shit that my parents would ever listen to. Without Gram Parker I don’t think we would’ve had the Musical courage to go in a new direction. A direction other than what pop radio wanted bands to play for some airtime. America does not have censorship but it does create a barrier of commercial censorship, we needed people I cramp our current Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart to change things up.

The truth is that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame isn't qualified to join with Graham Parker and The Rumour.

Any sane person who listens to Graham Parkers first 5 albums (and subsequent dozens over the years), and does not feel he belongs in the Rock and Roll HOF is just not paying attention. I guess Donna Summer better represents R&R

Graham Parker,without question deserves to be in the R&R hall of fame. He has a catalog of music that most musicians could only dream of. He still putting out quality songs today. He is one of the great song writers of our time. Give him the induction while he's alive. It's obvious that the R&R HOF has ran out of real rock n roll artist to induct. What are they waiting for. They are indeed the Hall of Shame.
