Love The Cure too. However, it is a huge snub, IMO, that Pat Benatar keep getting left out. 4 Grammy awards, 2 multi platinum albums, 5 platinum albums, 3 gold albums and 15 top 40 Billboard hits...Really? Benatar needs to be in the Hall.

Actually, while it led to commercial success, i thought the worst thing Neil did was hire a keyboard player and take a lesser role in the feel of the music. He was an excellent player who drove the sound.

He's actually working on musicals on Broadway now. But, on Volume radio, i heard him say he was putting a band together to go out on the road now that the kids are grown.

for years. He’s amazingly talented. I have always had a crazy crush on Kenny...but I digress. Last summer Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo came here to Missoula to play a concert at a new amphitheater. They were wonderful.

Still resonating with their themes of capitalist exploitation and oppression.

Def Leppard and Janet Jackson. Devo is a strong maybe, and Todd Rundgren should have been in years ago.

I'd be surprised to see any of the others get in, although there are 8 others i really like and respect.
