If any other band from the first “British Invasion” deserves to be in the Hall, it’s the SEARCHERS! The DC 5? Give me a break!
The Searchers hits that were big hits were only Needles and Pins and Bumble Bee.
The DC5 have had over 20 songs that reached the top 40, starting in 1964 and ending in 1967, well into the era of psychedelic rock.
I think the DC5 induction was made out of guilt because they were cheated out of induction in 2007 because Wenner demanded a rap group get in the Hall. Then two members died within a few months of each other. Wenner should burn in hell for omitting the DC5 in 2007 when all five members were alive to enjoy their triumph.
