the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame

I don't pay much attention to the RRHOF (or the Grammys, Emmys, and Oscars). But count me as a big fan of the Guess Who, a creative band in several genres; pop, rock, Canadian-flavored blues. I still enjoy listening to Burton Cummings and the Guess Who. In fact, I've been looking for a copy of "Guess Who #10" for years...can anyone help?

Also enjoy Alice Cooper, at least through "Killer". I think their best guitarist (who joined post-Killer) was Mike Pinera, who should be better known. He also greatly enhanced Iron Butterfly (check out "Metamorphosis") and Blues Image (their "Open" album is still one of my very favorites).

Lastly, I agree that Chicago's single-digit albums were ground-breaking and still remarkable.

When they didn't take the Moody Blues I determined that the RRHOF is a political joke. The Guess Who should be in there as well, but they appear to be basing their decision on something other than talent and contribution to the Rock And Roll Genre. All one man's opinion of course!

Well twist my knickers! Don't know the story of why the Moody Blues are passed over, but they are one of rock's iconic bands, so there's that.
As for the Guess Who, how can they be overlooked? Lots of hits with real hooks, great singer. Maybe this is payback for Burton Cummings solo stuff, specifically that over the top cheeseball "Stand Tall". Just thinking of it makes me feel embarrassed for him.

'all you're feelin' right now, is silly human pride'

They really should be in the hall of fame.One of the things that might not help them was the fact that there was so many different members of the Guess Who through the years.
The Guess Who,Rush,and Heart are three that should be in the hall.
Alice Cooper deserves to be in the hall of fame for sure though.He was very innovative.
