NWA got in, Joan Jett is in and Ambrosia is not?? Really?? This is a crime beyond measure! I mean NWA is or was,thank God, not even a rock band. Flipping rapper Snoop Dogg is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame??;Who? What? How? And most importantly,,, WHY??? Rap is in no way Rock, it's not even an ugly step child. A rap hall needs to open and the rappers need to be removed from the Rock Hall and have their own. I know that will never happen so , ignorance is bliss right?.

Wow, this is a travesty!

Ambrosia is/was such a great band!

Ambrosia was a great band. They had 14 major hits and many great albums. Such a smooth great sound. Broke up way to early but still must be inducted.

Essential Songs:

"How Much I Feel" (1978)
"Biggest Part of Me" (1980)
"You're the Only Woman (You & I)" (1980)

(And I disagree about "Cowboy Star" - don't know where that pick came from?)

Don't forget about Ambrosia's 1975 classic song "Holdin' On to Yesterday." That's one of my favorite songs.

Ambrosia is an excellent band who is better than many of the bands inducted. Great songwriting match with high quality music makes them a must. Bit how many deserving don't make it. Too many. Wake up. Inducuct Ambrosia.

^ *PS-All 4 members of Ambrosia played on The Alan Parsons Project debut album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination, in 1976, that was recorded soon after Ambrosia's debut album in 1975, both were released by 20th Century Fox Records. :-)
