| About Three Dog Night, Cathy Ward wrote: | |
| Three Dog Night deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They may not have written their own music but they took songs that weren't going anywhere and made them into music we still listen to today. I'm a 67 year old, my children are in their 40's and they know every word to every 3DN song. I'll bet the world over there aren't many that can't sing lyrics to all their songs. The time has come to honor this great band. | |

| About Foghat, Joe S. wrote: | |
| Jordan Einstein: Maybe Foghat hasn't contributed anything to rock and roll to the level of the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, et al. Then again, who has? I doubt that any of the acts inducted in the last decade have either. Rock and roll will never have another Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, or James Brown, or a group like the Beach Boys--that pretty much has been done. But I think groups like Rush, Guns 'n Roses, KISS, Nirvana and the like have proven they have earned their place in history and deserve their place in the Hall. Maybe, in another twenty or thirty years, the twenty- or thirty-somethings of today will say that there will never be anyone who has contributed to rock and roll what Cheap Trick or Stevie Nicks has. As for Foghat, I'm kind of on the fence. I think they have about as much significance as many of their contemporaries--REO Speedwagon, Kansas, Boston, Loverboy--who aren't in the Hall, and maybe a little less than Foreigner and Journey, who are. | |

| About Foghat, Jordan Einstein wrote: | |
| The fact that rock fans think Foghat should be considered for induction just proves they have no clue what it actually takes to be one of the honorees. Don't get wrong, those blokes aren't terrible in any means & are very talented. However what they did during their career isn't very remarkable & relevant which isn't something to write home about. Compare Foghat to the likes of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, The Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie & The Velvet Underground and I can guarantee that they have nothing on them. Those artists did everything in their existence to really earn their spot in the Hall meaning changing the entire course of rock and roll. Tell me what Foghat had done that those I mentioned haven't. Yeah I thought so, they're not HOF material. | |

| About Dokken, Bobby abbott wrote: | |
| George Lynch should be the reason dokken is in the hall. His guitar style and wizardry is top 5 of all time. In fact, he and satriani are the last alive. Seems the Hall basis is not on the music, but the financial gain of bands. Sad. | |

| Foghat isn't in the R&R HOF? That is crazy! They have many great albums! Rod Price on slide guitar was a FN monster! And Brian Bassett is no slouch! Lonesome Dave wrote great songs and was an awesome performer. Charlie Huhn who sang for them for many years, after Dave passed, was also a great singer and guitar player. Roger Earl original drummer!.....still out playing his ass off! His current lineup also kicks ass. I believe they should be in before many that have already been inducted. | |

| I was reading about Boston and their debut album yesterday and yeah I think they will be the next of the AOR "Stadium Rock" acts to be nominated Knowing what I read I am sure Rick Krim plus Dave Grohl and his inner circle (If Grohl was a big fan of the debut album of Foreigner there's a very good chance he is a big fan of Boston's debut album and maybe "Don't Look Back) Some people forget but the delayed Boston 3rd album "Third Stage" was very successful and produced their only number 1 hit and 3 Top 20 hits and went 4+ platinum | |

| Denis, Interesting list. A few of them (King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Iron Maiden and Patsy Cline) probably have a good shot. Frankie Miller Band, on the other hand has their work cut out for them. I do think Brinsley Schwarz and Graham Parker & The Rumour should get consideration though, pub rock a bit underappreciated. | |

| About Arkie Shibley, Mark Alexander Shibley Trainor wrote: | |
| Musical excellence is the essential qualification for induction in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Not to dismiss Arkie's musical excellence, his claim to fame is the 1950 hit "Hot Rod Race #1." Hot Rod Race sold more than 1,000,000 copies and rose to #5 on the County Billboard chart for seven weeks. His place in country, rockabilly, early rock and roll is assured on the strength of "Hot Rod Race." Its influence was immense, not only on rock and roll car songs like Chuck Berry's "Mabellene" and Gene Vincent's "Race With The Devil," but also on the hot rod music scene from the early 1960s (the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, the Hondels, etc.) The most likely landing spot for Arkie is with the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Museum. The museum was established to gather, preserve and honor rockabilly music and culture from early rock. I and other "music experts" absolutely believe, without a doubt, that Arkie's massive influence on rockabilly is worthy of Hall of Fame induction. His day will come. | |

| About Bay City Rollers, Cal Benito wrote: | |
| They will never and should never be considered by the Hall. The hit songs were catchy in jingley sort of way, but they didn't write them. The only one who can be heard on their albums is singer Les McKeown who had a decent pop voice but was nothing special. Session musicians covered everything else. And if you've ever heard live recordings you can see why. And I've nothing against tartan, but thank god their clothing style never caught on. I've heard they were badly ripped off my management and that's too bad. But let's not pretend they were ever a top tier band. | |

| Gotta ask why are people acting like king crimson is a big ass arena rock act? They had one album that sold well in the US and UK (went gold in both nations - most every other album charted ok at best) and no singles that went higher than 76 in either nation. They're an influential cult act like New York Dolls or MC5 not arena giants like foreigner | |

As for Styx yeah give me Jethro Tull or King Crimson to be nominated over them but obviously I don't control who is nominated to the Hall or not and I am just going by recent Hall trends | |

| So saw ice cube and I'm dropping him. The show was not good. He was fine on the mic but the show itself felt underwhelming even for a hip hop nostalgia show. Lazy visuals and stage design for an arena and stale stage banter. Would have been better suited to a club and it just didn't feel like a star set which the hall likes with hip hop. He did mention being a rock n roll Hall of famer and that's kinda the nail: he doesn't feel like a double inductee. The issue is I think their gonna nominate Outkast and won't want to put up a big name against them. So no dr. Dre, no Wu Tang, no Snoop, no nas, no Wayne or 50. I don't think they'll try salt n pepa or queen Latifah yet and I think they know Eric b and Rakim won't make it on the ballot. I'm between ice t/body count and de la soul. Gonna guess you reward your own Ice T and Body count. | |

| chasingwildcat, Because Bad Company I feel is absolutely very deserving of induction, so much more so than REO Speedwagon, Toto, America, Kansas and Styx, Bad Company has been in the conversation for the Rock Hall so much more than REO Speedwagon, Toto, America, Kansas and Styx, Bad Company is far more HOF worthy and they're much more deserving of induction than REO Speedwagon, Toto, America, Kansas and Styx, As I've said it before, I just don't think that REO Speedwagon, Toto, America, Kansas and Styx are HOF-worthy, so for that reason, I just don't see any of them ever getting nominated (let alone being inducted) IMO. but Bad Company I see getting nominated and inducted within the next couple of years, As well as they should.

Also, Bad Company has very weak influence on music style changes and fellow musicians except for having an infleuntial frontman. So why Bad Company is more infleuntial than these other "chessy" bands? | |
