One name omission by the R&R Hall of Fame makes the Hall of Fame a joke, Johnny Rivers.

The HOF will always be a joke. They'll have some "cool stuff" inside but they've inducted more for sales than influence.

If an artist got 50 INDUCTED artists to pick up a guitar, I think that artist should be in the hall.

Link Wray is in as a "one hit wonder" (but not an official inductee) and died last year. The Ramones got shunned until Joey died.

Gene Vincent may have been a bigger influence in England than America but certainly inspired the men who became the Beatles.
