He should have been chosen way before he died and now he has been forgotten like so many great artists of his time. Its all political like everything else is today but he will always be one of my best artists who inspired many musicians....

Townes Van Zandt, Iron Maiden, and Emerson Lake & Palmer are the worst non-inductions.
