"But I disagree with the author, The Sex Pistol should be in the Hall..."
If for no other reason than starting out their US tour in Texas.
It takes serious stones to do that.
With the inclusion of the Sex Pistols, yet another band that appreciated Link Wray (who passed away this/last month at 76)) gets inducted.
Add to that list The Who, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen. I'm sure there are more. In fact Bob and Sid met backstage at a Link Wray concert in 1978. Fire was written for Link. And Pete Townsend picked up a guitar because of the guy.
Miles Davis is "cool", no argument there, but Link Wray had more impact on rock and roll. It would be pointless to nominate him now that he's dead. He knew and the Hall knew what he'd contributed. Instead he is "honored" as a one hit wonder. That puts him the same category as Right Said Fred and Buggles.
