out some GIANTS. I even have a problem with JOHN MELLENCAMP. I like Mellencamp, but he’s not as important as rockers IGGY POP and the STOOGES or even LEON RUSSELL, and those are only a few that have been passed over by the Hall Of Rock Shame. Hear is the deal. The Hall has put Madonna,The Beastie Boys, John Mellencamp, Leonard Cohen etc ahead of the afore mentioned pioneers and other talents like Lou Reed,Linda Ronstadt,The Moody Blues(what), Queen(double what), YES (triple wh..ah you get he picture),Al Green(most of the people I know have Al Greens Greatest hits and not Leonard Cohens), Genesis, etc.etc. Bottom line is this. I could name at lest 10 more names , besides the many I have already brought up that I personally would vote for. I know MADONNA was a big part of the music POP scene, but even she shouldn’t be in front of the ones I have mentioned , never mind COHEN, THE BEASTIES’S, and COUGAR(aka Mellencamp) Can’t we get a real HALL OF FAME with separate categories JAZZ, R&B,POP, etc and really get this thing straightened out ? Other notables missing Alice Cooper,J Geils Band, Neil Diamond,Gram Parsons, Three Dog Night, and that’s still doesn’t fill out the group. I wonder if even THE BEASTIE BOYS are embarrassed about this one. Probably not !
