How many bands has Eddie Jobson been in anyone care to list them. The list would be so long would fill the alphabet

I can see why someone would care about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but seriously who cares?

No one really. What's the betting we'll never read another word nor will anyone ever comment. |

Yeah, I don't care about the HoF either, but it has been useful in communicating with non-Prog music fans when they have no idea who Steve Hackett is. Then again, how much do non-Prog music fans actually matter?

The most famous group among the candidates is Yes
There's no reason not to chose YES Hall of "FAME". "FAME" . Any other vote would be, "my personal taste", not "Fame". . It´s like punk, that almost only existed in the music critics texts about the end of the seventies. What made success was disco, glam, prog, metal, queen, stones, carly simon, bowie. Beside that, there was "the Clash" , a little of "Ramones" and a lot to critics trying to impose their tastes. . .today, critics don't have that power to impose their tastes, and ... music got worst, much worst (paradoxal)

Grammy has no credibility anymore, Oscar is losing credibility, but the names are strong "oscar" "hall of fame". Allen Toussaint? Andrew Loog Oldham? Are these people or some brand of matinal cereal? . No I won't look at wikipedia, because it´s hall of FAME. is there a "famous" Loog ? wtf

Regarding Miller's comments I'm surprised we haven't heard more of the same from other artists inducted into the Hall. If they treated him that way the odds are good others have been treated poorly also over the years unless this was a fluke.
And The Black Keys who gave his inductee speech never even knew him or met him according to Miller.....wtf ? What was the Hall thinking? Wouldn't you ask someone to do it that knew him and was a fellow musician from the old days? They said Miller was kind of unfriendly to them but then no one really introduced them according to Miller before the actual show. I have no idea who runs the event planning but it sounds like they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

I think the only answer is to burn the building to the ground and start over.

I will probably watch the ceremony, if only to see how awkward it is when ARW get together on stage with Howe and White...but who will play the bass? Two guitarists, two keyboard players, no bass?
They could at least have included Sherwood.
