How come the Fugs aren't in the Hall of Fame?

My English teacher in high school in 1966 or so brought the Fugs First Album in to class and played it for us.

I can't figure out why Chicago isn't in unless it's backlash over the insipid songs Cetera had as a solo artist, i.e., "The Next Time I Fall."

.....and the post-Kath Chicago catalog of "No Tell Lover" - "If You Leave Me Now" and the such.

Lucky your English teacher didn't get into trouble for doing that.

Of my favorite bands, I think two have a chance to good chance getting in some day: Roxy Music and The Cure. Against my wishes, of course. I'd be surprised if Roxy Music isn't in there some day.

Forget this Rock HOF debate. To me the real crime is that my favorite player was snubbed out of an ESPY

It's hard to to take the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seriously when one hit wonders like Patti Smith and Dr. John get in and groups like Chicago don't. I guess at the end of the day, who cares? It won't change who I listen to.

I think Patti Smith got in for "Best Female Armpit Hair."

Patti Smith and Patty Smyth are different rock singers. The latter was the proverbial one hit wonder.

I thought they got confused and thought she was actually Mick Jagger.
