Who doesnt know Bad to the Bone? For more than 30 years Gearge and the Deleware Destroyers have been rocking arenas, theatres and bars all around the world. One of the best live shows ever put on still to this day. Just in Kansas City 2 weeks ago and blew the roof off the joint. Should he be nominated for the Hall of Fame?

Yeah, but it should be no big deal to him. There are some sucky bands in the R&R HOF.

Teddy Pendergrass!!! He's been eligible since 2002. I am SOOOO mad, because as great of an artist as he is and as much as he's paved the way for so many of these young artists today...he's one of the few R&B legends still around who have actually used their celebrity for GOOD CAUSE by giving back to his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and to millions of people with spinal disabilities by creating the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance {TPA} many years ago. As I looked down the list and noticed many other of my favorite artists who are eligible and haven't been chosen, this one probably hurt me the most. I saw that Teddy's been "previously considered" for an induction, but yet only 60 people have voted for him! 57% voted FOR his induction, and 43% voted AGAINST it. I don't understand it. But aside from that, I don't understand how these judges can just pick people who don't even deserve to be inducted and leave out tons of others who have paid their dues and THEN some. I would love more than ANYTHING to have a discussion with the people on their panel, and really have a meeting of the minds. I'm talking a real DEBATE. Because the way they conduct their inductions are just total BULL. I saw that my other favorite artist of all time, Marvin Gaye, was inducted in 1987, just three years after his death. I knew he had been inducted, but I just wasn't sure when. Now here's what I don't get. I'm willing to bet ANYONE that had he still been alive today, Marvin would NOT have even been inducted. Why did he have to get acknowledged AFTER his death, and not when he was alive? I can't help but feel like the same is going to hold true for Teddy. Despite his car accident in 1982, he continued to put out tons of music. And like I mentioned above, he's done ALOT to give back to his community and others around the world by creating the TPA. He's getting up there in age now {he'll be 59 on March 26, 2009}, so unfortunately, anything could happen and his life could be cut short just like that. Is that what it's going to take for these stupid a**hole people over at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to realize that he's MORE than worthy of an induction? They make me sick. But kudos to you for the question. It was a very good one! I like it. :)

He definately deserves it but I don't know if he'd really care. As someone else said....some pretty crappy bands have been previously inducted and some just have nothing to do with Rock and Roll and should never even have been considered.
Yeah....he damn sure deserves it more than many others!!

Absolutely.....with songs like "Bad To The Bone" and "One Bourbon,One Scotch,One Beer",along with their other great classic rock hits, they deserve to be in.
