Dude, you don't even know how many "Campaign Petitions" there are for this Hall of Fame, as if being in it meant diddly! I recall one off the top of my head, but have seen many others: the Ventures, and why not. Miles Davis? Why not Gerry Mulligan or Dave Brubeck or Chet Baker? The later was as good a junkie as the best 60s rock'n'rollers. Ah, but they're all politically incorrect crackers, aren't they?! I have said it before, and will say it again, these Halls of Fame are some secular monuments of the Holy Religion of Celebrity Worship. All of them (HoFs), except the ones for broccoli and other vegetables, tiddly winks champions, and such.

If Miles Davis is going to get in (and he did play the Isle of Wight festival), then why not Sun Ra Arkestra (who played numerous times with the MC5 and other bands, and recently have played some big shows with them again).

Those guys are up in their 70s, played with all sorts of famous musicians, and helped to break ground for more avant gard rock with free jazz.
