    When are they going to give in and kill the R&R HOF and just call it something else?

    Maybe when it comes time to induct Brittany Spears and Beyonce? Or are they already in?

    Having grown up with the REAL guitar gods I never thought much of Nugent at the time quite honestly. Wango Tango and Cat Scratch Fever were kind of what the fuck? Great guitar player but there were a lot of them

    He is more famous or infamous for his post rock star life

    Absolutely zero issues with Brit getting in. But let's do it sooner rather than later. Age hasn't quite killed the big purple throbber yet.

    I was actually kind of surprised Doobie Brothers weren't already in.

    Stranglehold...

    Name another great Ted Nugent song?

    I’ll wait...

    Agree that rappers or whatever non-rock genre artists getting in is FS, but Ted didn’t have the career he thinks he did, and playing political victim is making me like him less.

    He thinks he’s the Pete Rose of rock. He ain’t.

    I could give you 10 songs you wouldn’t hear on the radio but you’d probably just shit on them just for the sake of proving a point

    Pure trash but always a fun listen. That's Nugent's niche.

    He was part of late 60s early 70’s rock and a big part of it at that. He should have been in the HOF within the first 45 years. Simple fact.

    It was t for his politics, he’d be in. Case closed, in of discussion.

    Joan Jett is in for fucks sake.

    Lot of rock guitarists superiority guys posting. In fact, I think rock guitarist talk was the genesis for the “superiority guy” label.

    Feel the same way. Love uncle Ted but more of a hunting activist and political figure as of late...especially.

    If he would have been killed in 1978 he’d be in based on his work to that point.

    I listened to the Amboy Dukes before most of you were born

    Imagine this group in. They are; Alice Cooper, Blondie, Curtis Mayfield, Depeche Mode (el oh el) Duane Eddy, Small Faces Tupac, The Cure. + Scores of fringe artists.

    Guitarists In: Jimmy 🔨 Page, Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Pete Townsend, Clapton, Joe Walsh Alex Lifson (Rush), Lindsey Buckingham, Jeff Beck, Mark Knoplfer, Angus

    Ted's a HOF. Period. Not a 1st ballot HOF but more than deserving of his plaque on the wall.
