The 31st class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was inducted in Brooklyn at Barclays Center on April 8th of this year. The honorees were Chicago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, Steve Miller, and N.W.A… Today we’ll focus our attention on the great oldies bands and singers that that deserve to be inducted into the hall.

How is it Jethro Tull is not yet in the Hall? His ‘Thick as a Brick” and “Locomotive Breath” works of art, length of service, and bravery of convincing other rocker to come on stage to perform while you’re holding a flute is tremendously brave, and reasons alone to be in the hall.

The Monkees belong in the hall. Imagine a group of early 20s kids answering an ad in Variety seeking actors/musicians to be in a new show about a band. Now add in that they eventually learned to perform their own music, had tons of hits on the charts, changing the way music was viewed on TV.

Wham was surely a bubble gum pop mess of talent in the mid-80s that moved music from ballad to pop, growing Top 40 radio stations at a time of music transition, changing the sound and studio production of music at that time. George Michael and Andrew Ridgely stormed onto the charts selling over 30 million records.
