The biggest oversight in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is Johnny Maestro. It's disgraceful that he's been snubbed all these years.


That is really weird that Checker is not in. But, he is not alone sadly. Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Doobie Brothers, Lou Reed, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner (no idea if Ike is in or not), Jim Croce, etc are still waiting.

Ike and Tina are in collectively. No reason to put Tina in by herelf. She had very limited success as a solo artist other than the What's Love Got To Do With It? years (mid '80s).

I liked Jim Croce a lot. But the truth is, his career may have been too short. But he belongs based on talent alone.

The other acts that you mention are deserving. Stevie Ray and Lou Reed may go in this year, though. If N.W.A. gets in, it's political correctness run amok.
