No it's an argument I can see being made. You didn't say it in so many words. As for Why he should be in the HOF, is there a criteria for admittance? I'm sure there is, be it written or unwritten. Name a more commerically successful artist that is eligible, that isn't in the HOF. Are Blondie in?Are you putting words in my mouth or are those your own words? I'm not even sure.You should tell me why he should be in the HoF. Album sales? X number of hit songs? Rubbed elbows with the right people?So he was a commercial whore with no charisma?As I said in the other thread, I think they will be admitted at some point. Whether they "should" or "shouldn't" be, well I have no opinion. I don't think they had the kind of impact that their fans think they did. Jeff Lynne rubbed elbows with a lot of heavy hitters... but what kid danced in front of his mirror wishing he could be Jeff ####### Lynne someday?They're crap isn't the most revealing of answers. Why shouldn't they be admitted?I've only got ELO best ofs & Discovery, so I'm not an ardent fan or anything, but long periods of consisent quality at a very high commercial level, fingers in many pies, innovative etc.
Who has ripped off the Beatles better apart from perhaps Oasis? (maybe another thread)
The reason I didn't start the thread, is that I wanted to research a bit more into the admittance criteria. My first reaction is that they should be in the hall, but why is a very good question.

Just 'cuz I have to have something from my neck of the woods:
5.17 : Steve Miller Band -- "Jungle Love"
... and I assume I need some disco. THIS is a disco song:
6.01 : Joe Tex --- "Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)"

Okay I tried with all my might to keep from going here,
but since 3 of my aces just got snagged, I think it's fated:
"What song is it you wanna hear?"

Released on the "One From The Road" album in '76.Released as a single in '76.I hope this is not eligible, 'cause I would have taken it in the 1st round...Okay I tried with all my might to keep from going here,

Peaked on the charts in '77.
I'd say if ever a live version was the definitive one for a song, this is it.
How bout you?

Oh yeah. Been looking at that for a couple rounds- figure if it wasn't taken by now, it might slip through the cracks to my next picks.Released on the "One From The Road" album in '76.Released as a single in '76.I hope this is not eligible, 'cause I would have taken it in the 1st round...Okay I tried with all my might to keep from going here,

Jackson Browne - "The Load-Out"

the live version is very long, so many stations nowadays don't play it as much because of time constraints. back in the day though, it was played a lot, and that famous line from the song is still quoted all the time today...."what song is it you wanna hear." love the piano solo in that live version "play it pretty for atlanta".

Might need a linky for that. I was looking at Petty, and it looked like AG was in '76?

I crossed it off as ineligible. Have to double checkPM sent to Monsieur Tufnel for my 6th pick

"LDS" came out as a single in 1978, but the album, Slowhand was released in November '77, according to my sources. So, per our rules, it should be good.
