Excuuuuuse me? The question was about Vanilla Fudge. Before you go denying them their due, learn some facts. The have been called by musc authorities the forerunner of heavy metal. They were before Led Zep and Deep Purple. Deep Purple stated they wanted to be the British Vanilla Fudge. Yes, Styx, Funkedelic, and even Led Zeppelin, who opened for Vanilla Fudge on their first US tour admit influence. Zep was basically a rock and blues band at first evolving from the New Yardbirds. Carmine Appice was John Bonham's mentor. Carmine was first. Even Pete Townsend of the Who said he'd never heard a Hammond organ take the front like a guitar before Vanilla Fudge. Indeed the original Vanilla Fudge deserves to be in the Hall much more than some who are already there.

"The have been called by musc authorities the forerunner of heavy metal."

Leaving the Fudge out of the RR Hall of Fame is a knock on what the music scene was like back in those days. It seems that production/progressive bands from the hippie days take knock trying to get in. There style certainly influenced my style of composition. Don't forget the bands that followed after the Fudge's break-up... remember Beck, Bogert and Appice? They performed Superstitious before Stevie Wonder. And Cactus another power house super group. Just the fact that the band is still touring shows you they Keep on Hanging On, somewhere for somebody. So vote em in
