Neil Diamond before he became a parody of himself, was an excellent songwriter in the 60s, he should be in.
How can you say no to the guy who did “Cherry Cherry”, “I’m A Believer”, and “Thank The Lord For The Night Time”. He deserves to be in the RRHOF.
I agree. His songwriting stuff should have gotten him in on its own.
I know a lot of it sounds silly, and is not “hard” rock, but if you put a play list of all of his stuff, back to back, you could listen for a long time and still hear stuff you know.
Hall of Fame’s on the other hand are a scam. They just add folks whom they think will draw a crowd to their museum.
Once in a while it would be nice for the Sports halls of fame to just say, “Nope, no one got in this year,” instead of diluting the honor.
