If they took a poll of current, surviving inductees, listing all of the names of potentials mentioned in various places on this site, Taj would be in 1st ballot. Guaranteed. He just needs a champion, a lobbyist, like Leon Russell had in Elton John. It's unfortunate that isn't how it's done.

It's a bit weird. I know not a lot of people know who Taj is, but I bet there are few musicians who do not. It's not like he is obscure. I've known his work since the early 70's. lots of other blues musicians here and Taj has a broader range. I know a lot of these guys and girls will get in, I just hope it's not after they are dead and gone. That's sad. Seems every year, a new band gets in just after a significant member dies. Last year, Yes having lost their leader, this year, Moody Blues after losing an original member.

Taj Mahal shine in the Music Hall of game! I have watched him perform since the 1970's and he is in incredible! He is still on the road and is a living legend! Do it now as he just turned 78 last week!!
