Fanny was a kick-ass group. Put Fanny in the RRHoF. One of the first all girl rock bands from early 70s. Check out their version of "Hey Bulldog" and be loving you some Fanny!

Fanny Lives: Inside the Return of the Pioneering All-Female Rock Band

In the face of flagrant sexism, they wowed David Bowie and made history with a major-label signing. Now, the members of Fanny are making a fresh start

They were pioneers. There would be no Heart, no GoGo's, no Bangles as we know them without Fanny.

For their pioneering influence and for proving women could rock, they should be in the Hall of Fame.

This site would not let me post the link. There is a group on a very popular social media site titled Induct Fanny In To the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Please consider joining.

Fanny's induction into the RnRHoF is long overdue... it is almost insulting that bands who directly credit them for their own existence have been previously inducted and/or nominated...

It is FANNY's time to receive the respect their due!

Fanny is a band deserving of the RRHOF. While most women at the time were acoustic, these girls went out to rock. They were the pioneers. They were unsung heros. They were so different the industry didn't know how to promote them. They are acclaim by many top artist. They should be remembered. These girls could play.

ABSOLUTELY. PUT THEM IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. They paid there dues. There music is beautiful, IT ROCKS. And humanity is better for it.

It's a no-brainer.. Way overdue. Fanny is a marvelous pioneer rock odyssey that had been abused, neglected, and were long forgotten, and for what? Not going platinum?! Please... give me freakin' break!
They were trailblazers.. ahead of their time! Well... It's now about time to get them inducted! Just do it man!

Fanny were true Rock and Roll pioneers. They suffered from Misogyny at their height and as the are not in the RRHOF I presume they still do. The trailblazers suffer the most for those who follow to benefit but believe me this group should not only be there because they were the first, the should be there because they were damn near the best. As tight an outfit you will not see regardless of gender and their live playing outshone their studio recording proving their pure talent! Bowie knew how great they were and so do thousands more, and it should be millions.

Yes! I just somehow discovered them and wow. They should definitely be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. NOW

FANNY deserves to be included in any future ballots. It's a shame and a definite snub
by Hall of Fame. Time to get rid of the good o'l boy mentality and give FANNY the recognition
they rightly deserve.

Fanny should have been in the hall a long time ago! One of the first all women rock bands check mark all the requirements just because they were some of the first to break the glass ceiling in history of rock and roll.

They are OK was hard to put a group group into the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame when 95% of their catalog was covered tongs. I hate to disappoint fanny fans, but that's reality cover band. Don't make it to the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame record sales, audience attendance is majority of the concept of rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame even though one of the band members of Fanny was sleeping with David Bowie that doesn't make them eligible for the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame my opinion
