IRON BUTTERFLY SHOULD GET INTO THE HALL OF FAME. THEY HAD A UNIQUE SOUND & WERE INCREDIBLY INFLUENTIAL.I STILL ENJOY THEIR MUSIC. IT COULD BE A GENERATIONAL THING IN MY TASTES BUT IF MADONNA CAN GET IN...............

Not gonna happen, but I wouldn’t be surprised if “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” gets a “backdoor” induction in the future cause that song provided a dramatic sound that led the way towards the development of hard rock and metal.

This is a lock for that new "Songs" category.

Should iron butterfly be in the Hall of Fame? I for one say yes. I grew up listening to them I saw them live in Myrtle Beach on a little itty bitty stage. They were awesome. They're mostly remembered for that one 17 minute song but I remember them for the albums with that light psychedelic feel and just good songs. Albeit I'm not a critic just an old school hippie who love to listen to the music. But I think they should be in because they represent a Time and is that not what music's all about. When I think on those days and I think of music I think of iron butterfly,I think of Jimi Hendrix I think of all the great music from that most magical era in music. And I think that were they to be left out of the Hall of Fame it would be a stark omission.

Rest in Peace Ron Bushy, 1941-2021.

If you listen closely to Iron Butterfly you realize what an incredible band they were. In-a-Gatta-da-Vida was a revolutionary song. Their influence was hugh. They should be in now while Doug Ingle the only remaining member is still alive.

Of course Iron Butterfly should be in the HOF! They practically created heavy metal. End of story.
