I'm not going to argue who should be in or not but a nominee Like Freddie King will be put in the RNR hall of fame by the people who run it not the general public. Yeah the same people who argue that the RNR hall of fame board is a shill are the ones who will vote to count on them to induct Freddie King.
I'm stoked that the public is being allowed to vote for bands,and I don't even know what % a band has to have to get in but it is nice to correct some bands that have been long over looked. Freddie King will get a lot of votes from established musicians and his few fans but when he does get in it will be because he was appointed by the RNR board and the musicians in the hall who voted for him not the general public.Let's get real if you asked someone on the street who Freddie King was they would probably say no or isn't he a blues Guitarist who wrote The Thrill is Gone?
