FOREIGNER bassist Jeff Pilson says that there is a "very, very simple" reason his band has not yet been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Artists are eligible for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25 years after the release of their first album or single. Criteria for inclusion includes "the influence and significance of the artist's contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll."

That's an excellent, All-American list.

I envy your part of town. :-)

I have several (many) amusing mental defects. I keep confusing Foreigner with Journey and The Doobie Brothers with Steely Dan. I know there’s been some cast sharing so I’ll blame that instead of all the birthday cake I’ve had.

Grand Funk would be in my top 10 selections.

I could listen to “I’m your Captain/Closer to Home” all day.
“Heartbreaker”
“Some kind of Wonderful”
And the song that can be identified within a few beats of the opening drums: “We’re an American Band”

Is “The Guess Who” in there?

I fell asleep during a Styx concert.

I get Styx confused with Supertramp. I'm waiting for the lead singer's voice to change.

“I prefer they stick with American bands”

Yeh, because the Beatles, Stones, Elton John and Rod Stewart were so horrible. 😉

Foreigner got their name, because they were half-British half-American.

Actually, I thought I’d get more opposition to my Rush inclusion in the marginal bands list. I see them as more of an acquired taste I never acquired.
