Are the Beatles the Babe Ruth of the RRHOF? Good argument for that - Ruth was an idol in the US as were the Beatles. Both blazed a trail, Ruth in baseball, Beatles in music.
Here's the list of the first inductees to the RRHOF:
- Buddy Holly
- Chuck Berry
- Elvis Presley
- Fats Domino
- James Brown
- Jerry Lee Lewis
- Little Richard
- Ray Charles
- Sam Cooke
- Everly Brothers
There's hardly any mention of these guys in this thread..... did the RRHOF get it wrong on the first inductees? The Beatles didn't even make it to the third year and Zep wasn't inducted until the doors had been opened for 10 years. |
To be eligible for the Rock n Roll Hof, the artist must have made their first commercial recording at least 25 years earlier. The HOF opened in 1986, so the Beatles weren't eligible until 1988.
