Top 10 Rock Hall of Fame Snubs
A band is eligible for induction into Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after they release their first record. This year's finalists were announced Sept. 24 — giving new hope to fans of two long-suffering bands — but the gala will leave a bitter taste in the mouths of fans of many bands whose idols haven't yet made the cut. Here are 10 of the Hall's most notable snubs.
Despite five No. 1 albums, the success of jazzy rockers Chicago was always a bit of a mystery to music critics who never fully embraced the group. And while Chicago's horn section was huge, their musical output was bigger — like clockwork, the band put out 11 albums in the 1970s alone. Perhaps less would have been more, at least as far as the Hall is concerned. Inconsistency, caused by their ever-rotating slate of band members, may continue to keep Chicago out.
