I agree that their early work is more interesting than what became almost easy-listening pop. But I believe they have sold more records than any other American group besides the Beach Boys, so somebody must like them. They, along with Blood, Sweat and Tears, introduced horn sections to rock. And they certainly are better musicians than Kiss.Keith Carleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752711115240451899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960772098173697898.post-36239695597548106812015-11-20T14:40:45.605-08:002015-11-20T14:40:45.605-08:00Steve miller has given more to music over many yea...Steve miller has given more to music over many years than most of the competition.

The names came up. Yes, Deep Purple - are they not in already? Chic, OBVS. NWA - someone said a must, especially since Get Outta Compton movie. Los Lobos, very, very tricky, maybe in 2020. Cheap Trick, A NO BRAINER, got to be in. The Cars, the jury was out, but maybe yes, if Cheap Trick is in. The Smiths? Some said yes. Janet Jackson? You could hear the LAUGHTER from Bishopsgate. Chaka Khan OBVS, as I recall. The (Detroit) Spinners - what took so long? But only if THE DRIFTERS are in. Chicago, only if Traffic is in. Nine Inch Nails, see Los Lobos, despite Hurt. Steve Miller - Who He? And how on earth can there be any fucking doubt, which roundly brought us to the question, who asks these ridiculous questions?Will Birchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00814825192050776654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960772098173697898.post-12377763247735209572015-11-20T09:06:32.554-08:002015-11-20T09:06:32.554-08:00Completely agree with your picks, Chris.

Liked their debut song "Will the Wolf Survive" (1985). Really liked 1991's Angel Dance. Absolutely LOVE their new song "Made to Break Your Heart ". That's consistency. That's longevity.

Yes and The Deep are no brainers. I see the choices for the last spot coming down to Steve Miller, The Cars and Cheap Trick. Miller had a helluva run in the late 70's as well as The Cars. Cheap Trick has those few iconic songs but I say the Cars has set themselves apart with there brand of unique sound that came out. One of a kind when you throw in the significant amount of keyboards similar to Lords keys with Purple. It made both of there sounds unusual and earworthy! The Cars!Makhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225363409446441404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960772098173697898.post-71693518262566927972015-11-20T07:49:22.025-08:002015-11-20T07:49:22.025-08:00Is there any way you can get Nicky Hopkins inducte...Is there any way you can get Nicky Hopkins inducted in the sideman category?
