Grand Funk Railroad.It should be called the Music Hall Of Fame. It is a joke. Most nominees have nothing to do with rock n roll and are not worthy of any nomination..
Chubby Checker didn't have a very prolific career. He had exactly two #1 singles. One of them happens to be the most successful single on the Billboard chart ever, but he is dangerously close to fitting the definition of a one-hit-wonder.
The way he acted after his perceived snub from the R&R HOF probably didn't win him many people willing to support his nomination, lest he throw another tantrum if he didn't win his nomination.

And BTO as well. The Hall of Fame must have a beef with Randy Bachman.
It should be called the Music Hall Of Fame. It is a joke. Most nominees have nothing to do with rock n roll and are not worthy of any nomination..
And if I recall correctly she declined because she said she isn't a rock and roll singer.Just a reminder..........Dolly Parton was nominated last year .
And then she changed her mind and was inducted. Not that I dislike Dolly, but it was a travesty IMO.And if I recall correctly she declined because she said she isn't a rock and roll singer.
Up the Irons!
