one of the better sellers were Guess Who carts. Oddly enough they are not in
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Maybe not so odd given some of the
exclusions and inclusions that haunt the hall. Rumours of an east coast bias
(Manitoba, whatinell is a Manitoba?) with the hall physically in Ohio but
the machinery in New York may well be true. Some say The Guess Who were
strictly regional. Zuh? I lived all over the USA in the late 60s and 70s and
they were probably more popular there (especially the midwest and north
Pacific) than in Winnipeg. Sign the petition:http://www.petitiononline.com/tfh1/




they only had a few good top 40 songs, their albums on a whole were
disappointing

eventually all classic rock bands will be in the hall of fame, because
there simply isn't that many of them, the hall status is bogus

simply a way to bilk more money and get the public to buy the same old
LP's they already heard 5000 times on vinyl and tape back in the day

example: a few years back, they aired a Pink Floyd The Wall tour
concert on cable TV- today's rap/hip hop/bubble gum generation watched
it at home-

that weekend, Pink Floyd CD sales skyrocketed, and disappeared from
the shelves like so many hot cakes
