*********** Who are your favorites?

1. Stevie Nicks should be in there for sure.

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.

4. Her Husband Is Quite The Guitar Player, Too

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.

5. Neil played in Kenny Loggins' band

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.

2. RATM

Still resonating with their themes of capitalist exploitation and oppression.

3. I Only See 2 Slam Dunks

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.
