They deserve to be. Great band innovative. Large library of material.

A great sound led by Andy Powell.... the heart and soul of WA. Joined by so many great guitarist over the years. I think that because there is only one original member, and the feud with Euro WA (Martin Turner) will unfortunately keep them out of HOF. Who cares.... I still love them.... always will.

Yes Mark,
Wishbone Ash has never gotten the credit they are due, and are one of the most talented and innovative bands of all time. They cruised under the radar like Budgie, Golden Earring, Be Bop Deluxe, and many others. But what they do have is staying power. Somehow, they have managed to keep it together in some shape or form, with Andy Powell, able to retain the rights to the Band's name, or Martin Turner putting together his version of Wishbone Ash. Regardless, the known legal band of Wishbone Ash, had just released new material last year, an album titled "Coat Of Arms", which sounds very good, from the cuts I have heard.
Of course, they have 12 or 15 great albums of excellent quality material, since 1970, and the 1972 masterpiece, "Argus", could arguably be considered to be in the Top 20 Rock LP's of all time. Bands like this, and there are many, that probably do not have the credentials for HOF, due to sales or whatever, have their own exalted status, because the fans like myself, rate them in their Top 10 or 20 of all time, and that's all that matters. Way too many extremely talented bands that do not get recognized, are out there. For instance, King Crimson and Jethro Tull, and others would say Procol Harum , or Grand Funk Railroad, The Guess Who, Steppenwolf, etc., etc..

Will N. Thanks for posting on Wishbone Ash. I have no idea why they are not inducted in the Rock & Roll HOF. Powell & Turner twin guitar attack in the early 70's is a thing of incredible art, beauty, and talent. I don't know how they work the guitars but it always is amazing. Ritchie Blackmore, I know from just history has been a big fan of Andy Powell's. He helped Wishbone Ash secure a record deal as a young band. I have nominated Lorelei, Persephone and other Wishbone Ash songs but only received a few votes in the projects. Same thing with their album New England. Hopefully, the random number will pick Wishbone Ash in the artist vote. They deserve to have their discography explored. I have hope for Wishbone Ash as Thin Lizzy was nominated last year. They also had a 2 guitar attack and some critical acclaim and popularity. Wishbone Ash definitely deserving of the RRHOF. They have Wishbone Ash still around making music and playing. I hated not nominating Wishbone Ash this time around in Classic Rock...However, I realized it would only be a few votes and more frustration. Instead, I nominated an equally underrated group April Wine. Golden Earring like Wishbone Ash is another group I would love to see inducted. Had some amazing songs and incredible longevity. A Wishbone Ash salute. I would support another Classic Rock #2 voting here for the HOF on the site. So many great groups April Wine,Golden Earring, Mott The Hoople, Slade, Sweet, WA, etc on the outside looking in. KING

They better get in either this year or next year. Like everyone has stated it needs to happen. Argus was the crown jewel but they did a whole lot more amazing music (Wishbone Ash), (Twin Barrles Burning), and the (No Speak album) and their still going. Not to mention Andy Powell and Ted Turners sincrinization with the twin guitar sound. As well as Martin turners amazing vocals and bass guitar sincrinization with Andy and Teds guitar leads. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame founders and workers Get Wishbone Ash in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!

After 47 year, I still have to have my Wishbone Ash fix. Thx Spotify. I can listen to over 20 superlative progressive guitar rock albums spanning decades. Wishbone Ash should be inducted into the RRHOF!

Ted Turner is one of the best guitarists I have ever seen, and Martin Turner is very good too. This band should certainly be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

I love wishbone ash I've been a fan since 2009 I think Martin turner is original sound of the band.The albums that I love that don't get much play like New England,front page news,no smoke with fire and living proof are rock classics.The musicians Laurie wise field and Ted turner are the guitarists of the band.steve Upton is the most unrated drummer.The masterpieces of argus and self titled first album wishbone ash are epic.Martin turner has worked so hard to get this band where is it,is about they was put forward to rock n roll hall of fame.
