How is it that you still think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame means something?
A group of non-musicians got together and decided they’d build a little club, give it an important sounding name and try to make themselves sound like the arbiters of greatness in the process.
I advise you to never wonder why any particular musician or band isn’t in that sham of a hall. The people who run it are just trying to make some money off the names of people who did what they never could.
In the late 70s, Ted Nugent and Aerosmith were the two highest grossing touring American hard rock performers.
Stranglehold is one of the great rock songs ever. From there you to go Cat Scratch Fever and Wang Dang Sweet Poontang and Free For All. For there you go to Damn Yankees and the great success they had in the early 90s with Ted Nugent playing guitar in their band.
These music critics who run “the Hall” think that by being the people who decide who gets admitted, that somehow makes them important.
They aren’t there to induct the names of the best rock musicians there have ever been. To begin with, that’s subjective in and of itself.
These delusional twits ought to be embarrassed that they think just because they have a magazine, somehow a big star like Ted Nugent would somehow be bowled over if they told him they were “allowing” him into their little club.
