For me one of the biggest omissions from the Hall is drummer DJ Fontana and bassist Bill Black. They were the rhythm section for Elvis up until the Vegas stuff. These guys practically created the Rock-n-Roll beat and they're skipped over every year. The last couple of years there have been petitions going around trying to get them added backed by McCartney and The Stones but to no avail. DJ's son is a good friend of mine. He thinks they're going to wait until he passes away and then put him in posthumously. If that's the way they do it, he said he's going to have a great time telling them to go take a flyin leap.

What is criminal is that Rush is still out and the Pretenders are in. Rush has it all, including an UNCHANGED lineup since 1974.
I visited the tourist trap in 1997 with my then fiance (now my wife), I was let down, they still let me down.

Yes is missing. Until Yes is in the Hall of Fame there can be no resolution to the current state of human affairs.
