    About the 2026 Inductees, Jim C. wrote:
    Black Crowes sold 30m and have consistently toured for 30+ years. They had decent classic rock radio play ("Hard to Handle", and 3 others got a fair amount of play). They aren't a terrible pick -> look at who they inducted vs who they excluded. There is a huge gulf. Black Crowes clearly beat quite a few inducted bands.

    Ask AI about influence: The Velvet Underground sold poorly, but every musician who heard them formed a band. This is a Brian Eno quote and not reality. It didn't happen. Same with the Monkees outselling Beatles and Stones combined in 1967. Tongue in cheek quotes became gospel.

    If anything, musicians lie about influence and who they steal riffs from. Look at Nirvana / Oasis -> they plagiarized a ton.

    Of course Black Crowes are nominated because of industry connection and fail to meet the criteria.

    But then why are they nominating acts like The Black Crowes?
