I think we have to consider the questionable quality of at least some of the artists who have been inducted in the past, too. I believe the only thing precluding SAC's induction is bias.
In fact, Jeff Tamarkin, who penned "Got a Revolution! The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane," and who was once associated with the Hall, apprised me in an August 18th, 2007 e-mail: "That organization is a joke and a sham…riddled with politics and having nothing to do with music." Further, "I…presented a petition signed by 5000 Moody Blues fans to the committee in 1993. I was told by Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau that they didn’t think the band was deserving." That is one of the reasons, Jeff added, he left the Hall.
