• Include the Rock Musicians who paved the way and have been snubbed. Included in the list below and through the link included
• Change the name to Pop and Rock Music Hall of Fame! And add more inductees, at least One who isn't in the Top 500 Albums of Rolling Stone.
• Include Progressive and Art Rock Bands. They all contributed. 

I am now 62 years old, and I can remember the original charter of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was. It was meant to honor exceptional rock musicians and bands. Not Pop artists, Not Hip Hop artists. Not Country Music artists. It was those who contributed to Rock Music, and those who are Rock Music. History is impacted by your omissions. 

While I love several of the artists who have been inducted recently, they are not Rock artists and until certain artists are inducted, the entire RRHOF is a joke. I am hoping before my last chapter on this earth ends, that you will right some wrongs, like inducting bands who have been painfully and obviously omitted who deserve to be there, not only because I like them. But because they contributed greatly, were successful, and influenced Rock Music. Before anymore 80's , 90s and later rock bands are inducted. or others get their second nomination and induction. these 60's and 70s bands must be inducted for prosperity, otherwise you are just a farce. Most importantly are Jethro Tull, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, CSNY, Joe Cocker, Steppenwolf and Procol Harum.

This is the list that I believe needs to be addressed if you are going to maintain integrity (here are 19 more who are extremely important): 

1. Jethro Tull - 60 Million Albums Worldwide, one of the biggest bands of the 70s. 5 Platinum Albums. Filled arenas and influenced Rock Music. 
2. Emerson Lake & Palmer/ Keith Emerson and Greg Lake - 48 Million albums sold. Filling arenas and played at almost every sports game across the world. Not to mention members of Nice and King Crimson 
3. Free/Bad Company and Paul Rogers - only 20 Million albums, but over 700 arena filled concerts
4. Mott the Hoople - One of the greatest rock anthems of all time 
5. Steppenwolf - 28 Million Albums Worldwide, "Born to Be Wild," "Magic Carpet Ride," and "Rock Me" . 
6. Crosby Stills Nash & Young 
7. Bachman Turner Overdrive 
8 Badfinger 
9. Blind Faith
10. Blue Oyster Cult 
11. Canned Heat 
12. Joe Cocker 
13. America 
14. The Spencer Davis Group. 
15. Brian Eno 
16. Grand Funk Railroad 
17. The Guess Who 
18. Hawkwind
19. Humble Pie 
20. King Crimson 
21. MC5 
22. Montrose 
23. Mountain
24. Iggy Pop 
25 Procol Harum
26. Ry Cooder 
27. Little Feat  

There are more. But going through this list and others. Here is an even more comprehensive list: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/artists-not-in-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame/

I'm begging you to please start address the list of 25, if not the complete list by Ultimate Classic Rock, before anymore 80's 90's and later bands and artists are recognized. Or change your name to the Pop and Rock Hall of Fame. Because you are far from the original charter.
