How can we get Spandau Ballet into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?They are at least as Influential as Duran Duran and-- Spandau are super musicians and songwriters.Tony Hadley's soaring vocals backed by the rest of the Soul Boys of the Western World set them way above so many of their contemporaries.
Get them in there !!
Maybe that will get them to see the error of their ways in breaking up--AGAIN. And get them back together,PLEASE--boys--get back together.Seeing you in concert only once in 2015 was not nearly enough.

Spandau Ballet have not only thrived in the 80s globally, but they have created one of the most romantic songs in the entire world (True). Everyone has heard of it and I'm pretty they've heard of their other hits like "Gold", "Through the Barricades" and "Only When You Leave". They've dominated the charts and their song, "True", is featured in almost every film and television show ever. If Duran Duran can be inducted, so can they. SPANDAU BALLET FOR ROCK AND ROLL HOF 2025!!

Basically one hit wonder in the USA - most people here only know "True." Hits don't always matter for the Rock Hall… unless you're a pop group, in which case…. hits are sort of the whole point?
