Now you have to explain to me why The Meters are more respected than Kool and the Gang and the Commodores. I don't see Kool and the Gang and the Commodores being nominated until after The Meters, The Neville Brothers and The Spinners are all inducted.

Weeeeird. How are they not in? I hope they're considering but I guess it's like everybody has to cram in through the doorway before everybody else.

You want your damn friends the Meters to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? How about you nominate those who aren't your friends first, those people who would get inducted on the first nomination and would add up to 30 more votes for your precious Meters, and your precious War as well. I am speaking of Blood, Sweat & Tears, Kool & The Gang, the Commodores, and even the Spinners.

Your damn Meters will never be inducted if you don't induct Kool & The Gang and the Commodores first!
