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.
Let's just get this out of the way — any band with Michael McDonald for a lead singer automatically loses some of its rock star cachet. That said, The Doobie Brothers may have been at their best with the heavily-maned crooner at the helm. When McDonald took over in 1975, he changed the band from biker-bar rockers into a more soulful sounding group. And therein lies the problem — The Doobie Brothers soon became little more than McDonald's backing band, and a decidedly mediocre one at that.
