A place called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which in name is great but when you look over the list of performers enshrined as such crucial and impactful people in the history of Rock and Roll, you quickly come to WTF?
There is a band that comes to my mind and may I dare “say” hundreds of thousands would agree that is tragically missing from the museum.
There is a band which many a band refers to as inspirational to their own group’s tapestry and foundation of what has made them take the musical road for a lifetime.
There is a band that has songs that are brought in and weaved into movie soundtracks.
There is a band that does not have the nod of a bunch of tossers so they aren’t in what is supposed to be a museum not of Rock and Roll only but TO ROCK AND ROLL.
And lets bring up again that this is the museum that waited until 2013 to give the nod to RUSH.
The band that is missing?

Just a few of the performers that are in the R&R HOF. Yes the R&R HOF that Thin Lizzy is not recognized in:
BEE GEES
HARRY BELAFONTE
THE BLUE CAPS
RUTH BROWN
SOLOMON BURKE
THE CARS
CHICAGO
THE COMETS
THE CURE
THE DELLS
DONOVAN
DUANE EDDY
EURYTHMICS
EMINEM
THE FAMOUS FLAMES
THE FLAMINGOS
FRANKIE LYMON AND THE TEENAGERS
THE GO-GOs
GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE
AL GREEN
ALLEN GRUBMAN
GREEN DAY
HEART
THE IMPRESSIONS
WHITNEY HOUSTON
THE ISLEY BROTHERS
WILLIE NELSON
DOLLY PARTON
TRAFFIC
STEVIE WONDER
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
AND MANY OTHERS
That short list of performers (not knocking them as performers); just providing a baseline. We are really supposed to believe that they each have impacted R&R much more than Thin Lizzy.
REALLY??
