The so-called Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is nothing but a joke. Jackson Browne is in there..... Jackson Browne? Hell, they'll let anybody in there....except the Moodies.
I guess Jan Wenner isn't a Moodies fan. But if you are using qualities like "pioneering" or "influential" as your criteria, I fail to see why the Moodies wouldn't get a nod. They were to first to incorporate a live orchestra on an album, first to record a concept album and first rock act to utilize the Dram recording system. That is pioneering.
Tom Petty is pioneering? Martha and the Vandellas are influential?
Much injustice is taking place in the world today....much of it in this country. None greater than this.
God bless.....
