I am a fan of Warren. Not sure I ever saw him in RnR hall of fame but whatever. Better than some of the other riff raff. I like his live stuff better than studio.

No kidding! WILLIE NELSON is in the Rock HOF but not Warren Zevon?

How nutty is that?

1. This is just a nomination.

Zevon and BOSTON need to go in.

I saw him open for Stevie Nicks. He was great. Stevie was drunk and crap.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of the biggest piles of bullshit that was ever created.

Hey now, Willie wrote Crazy just for Patsy Line in 1961 and in 2023 he is still on the road.

Warren Zevon did much more than write "Werewolves of London".

For example, he wrote the big Linda Ronstadt hit "Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me"

Exactly. Nominees don’t even have to be RnR acts to get in. Just hang around long enough and you’re in.

He had a bunch of great songs other than Werewolves. Go listen to Lawyers, Guns and Money, for starters.

Warren Zevon? I like “Werewolves of London” as a fun, cheesey novelty song, but he is literally a one-hit wonder. That’s not a knock, a lot of great bands are zero-hit wonders and A Certain Girl, etc., are also fun rock songs. But Hall of Fame? Well, he’s better than Patti Smith, the Sex Pistols, etc.

Okay, if we are opening THAT pandora’s box, then I throw Jethro Tull and Johnny Rivers’ hats into the ring.
