Ridiculous waste of his multitude of fans and listeners?.... His style, delivery, prose alone. Shame rrhf.

John Hiatt is the most underrated songwriter in American music history. And with all of the wonderful artists who have covered his songs, his originals are invariably better. I said 15 years ago that I was boycotting the R&RHOF until they have the good sense to enshrine him. And yet, he doesn't even make the "most snubbed" list. It's criminal.

I concur...a damn shame...some of the best lyrics in music...he's deserving on longevity alone...

I have said for years John Hiatt is Americas Van Morrison.

John Hiatt is a must for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His music is iconic. I have seen him in Concert. He continues to record great sounds.

John Hiatt is one of the most innovative musicians. He writes and performs the best Rock and Roll music. Have seen him in concert. He deserves his due as a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However knowing that organization and their denial of of great artists this may not happen soon.

A true musical genius! So deserving!

Most of us know John Hiatt is a master songwriter who should have been nominated years ago. Every year I am so disappointed not to see his name mentioned.
Waiting patiently...

Hiatt is one of the greatest. He plays quintessential American rock and roll. He is a phenomenal song writer and puts on an amazing live performance. He has had an amazingly long and prolific career. It is a travesty that he has not been inducted (let alone nominated) into the RRHOF.
