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.

The Moody Blues burned fast and bright. While still around today, they're only a smoldering flicker of the band they were in their prime. During a five-year period from 1967-1972, the Moody Blues put out seven albums that sold millions, producing such hits as "Nights in White Satin" and "Question" (all while rocking the occasional flute solo). The band enjoyed a brief comeback in the 80s, but if they make it into the Hall, it will likely be on the basis of their early material.
