Congratulations to them, but what about these and many others?

Joe Cocker
Roger Daltrey
America
Bachman Turner Overdrive

I am happy to report I have never watched the HOF show.
Anyway, what is their definition of rock and roll?

Imagine you are Foreigner, rocking since 1976, millions and records sold, and rapper Missy Elliot who was 5 when you formed your band gets inducted before you! A pretty bitter pill if you ask me, but I'm sure they will be forced to be gracious when they get their turn to speak.

As stated, the R&R HOF has been a joke for a long time.... looong time. Since they started inducting that $hit, it's gone into the toilet.
Greg Allman plus the rest of the band were inducted in 1995, The WHO and Daltrey in 1990.
I bet you can't be inducted twice for a solo career ect.
You made me look, lol.

there a good band with a bunch of bits , they deserve a slot in the hall o fame . i saw them bunch of times years ago always great show …
I was speaking in terms of a solo artist in their own right, not as a member of a group.
Maybe I'm behind the times.

They shouldn't let foreigners in. Keep it all 'Merican! LOL
The War Memorial - classic arena name!
The audio is Lou Graham but the singer on the video is Kelly Hanson.
Lou is the voice of Foreigner.
@Don Frelier It's about time, isn't it? Mick Jones was less than kind to Lou Gramm over the years.
Their first three albums were their best - when they had more talented musicians and not just a bunch of "yes" men to Mick Jones. That said, I do like his playing on those first three!

I like all their first 6 albums. But yes the first 2 in particular had a harder tone.
But some of the later ones really featured Lou's voice.

That's a pretty abbreviately list... RnR HOF is a joke... Both in who they have inducted as well as who they haven't...
Congrats to the guys from Foreigner just the same... They deserve to be in a Real RnR HOF...
