ANOTHER ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

I’ve been wanting to do this for years (as one of my inductees famously ad-libbed), and was reminded of this long-intended mission by reading Barney Hoskyns’ RBP blog entitled “The Perennial Joys of “Godd” Rundgren, wherein he writ, “I think I’m more loyal to Todd than to any other single artist; I just keep coming back for more and more. Please discover the rabbit-toothed magus of rock if you haven’t already done so.” I second that emotion, big time, and extend it to the following loves of my life (inductees to the “real” R&RHOF excluded; 25-year rule ignored):

Todd Rundgren
Procol Harum
Gram Parsons
Little Feat
Big Star
Mott the Hoople
The Tubes
Roxy Music
Robert Palmer
New York Dolls
Fairport Convention
Crowded House
Lindsey Buckingham
Matthew Sweet
The Odds
The Jayhawks
Beck
Radiohead
Wilco
Spoon
Kings of Leon
