So what can we do to get the ball rolling?

I have followed Bruce since the early 70's and seen numerous shows and bought albums but I unequivicolly state that the E-Street band shows are what made him successful because the studio albums on itself would bring his luster down to 25% compared to what it is now and probably worth 10-20 million vs. 200 million dollars that he is supposedly worth. This is one of Bruce's faults either by ego or his self importance scale. The band should have been included with him. Otherwise they never will make it.

I'm pretty sure Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt will make the Rock Hall induct every early member of the E Street Band. Jerry Garcia got what he wanted!

Vini Lopez confirms that all 10 members of the E Street Band will be inducted.

Ten E Street musicians will be enshrined in the hall. Two are deceased: Organist Danny Federici, who died of melanoma in 2008, and saxophonist and onstage foil Clarence Clemons, whose 2011 passing due to complications of a stroke sent shock waves through Springsteen’s fan base. Two others are no longer with the E Street Band: David Sancious, who played piano on Springsteen’s first three albums before leaving for a varied career as a frontman and complementary musician, and Lopez will enter the hall alongside Springsteen’s current bandmates: bassist and band cornerstone Garry Tallent; pianist Roy Bittan, whose ringing octaves are an E Street signature; guitarist and utilityman Steven Van Zandt; singer Patti Scialfa; top-gun six-string slinger Nils Lofgren and drummer Max Weinberg, long the heartbeat of the group.

They should have been inducted with Bruce Springsteen. I hope this mistake will never be repeated.

And the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame still hasn't put up a picture of the E Street Band on their bio page for the band.

In between Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez and Max Weinberg, there was another drummer, Ernest "Boom" Carter who was around long enough to qualify as a Snubbed Member. He can be heard on "Born to Run."

I asked Steven Van Zandt on twitter when is he going to nominate Kool & The Gang and the Commodores for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

His response:

Right after the Clovers, the Diamonds, the Jive Five, Link Wray, the Tokens, Procol Harum, The J Geils Band, and Johnny Burnett and the Rock And Roll Trio get in.

Posted by Roy on Sunday, 04/29/2018 @ 14:58pm

Steven Van Zandt wants Procol Harum, closely followed by the J Geils Band, Johnny Burnette & Rock And Roll Trio, Junior Walker & the All Stars, Bad Company, Delaney & Bonnie, Raspberries, and individuals like Linc Wray, Roy Brown, Dick Dale, Gary US Bonds, Taj Mahal, Joe Cocker inducted next.

@ Roy

I can see why Little Steven still wants Link Wray, Bad Company, Dick Dale, and Procol Harum inducted (Which I do support him for that). But he should forget about some of his snubs like J Geils. Some are better off having their biggest "Hit" singles inducted into the Singles Category.

E-Street obviously should have gone in with their leader. One guesses that both The Heartbreakers went in at first eligibility along with their boss is that Like one Mr Morrison of The Doors Mr Petty was not pleasant if one were to imply that they were not A BAND. Jim Morrison was known for among other things running out and grabbing the mic to make the correction should any poor MC make the mistake of introducing them as Jim Morison and The Doors. Petty was reputed to be as band not solo oriented as Mr Morison. If you look on the Tom Petty solo albums about who played on the album, it's the Heartbreakers for the most part, with an occasional Beatle or ELO lead singer tossed in. (When Stan Lynch was getting tossed out because he just didn't know how to tell the other guys that after 20 some years he was over it, he was apparently threatened with having Ringo Starr fill in for him. And after he did leave the first person to play in his place and be offered his spot was Dave Grohl. He talked it over with Tom and went on to go ahead and work on Foo Fighters.)
