I've long since given up trying to figure out the criteria they use to elect membership to what is supposed to be a rock and roll hall of fame. I look at this list of nominees (and look down the list of already-inducted members) and can't figure it out, when the likes of Dick Dale, Jan and Dean, Connie Francis, Chubby Checker,Tommy James, Mary Wells, The Carpenters and 3 Dog Night are snubbed.

I can only agree with that.
