Not a big fan of the RnR H.O.F. induction process but it would be cool if they make it in.

scrolling through the comments, it's interesting to note only positive remarks about the Ventures. They certainly deserve to get in. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

There has been a petition going around to get them in. I signed it back in about 2002. The number one selling instrumental band ever! |

I'm probably more excited for the Leonard Cohen induction. Personally instrumental music holds a different place in my heart and mind than lyrical music and I don't allow the two to mix all that often. |

It's pretty messed up though that the Ventures are considered before Link Wray? —Paul |

I agree that its pretty much a joke. I can name hundreds of bands/people that I think should be in there that aren't. —Ryan |

It should really be named the Pop Music Hall of Fame. I probably have a more conservative opinion than most, but to me Rock and Roll and Rock music are 2 different things and there seem to be a huge number of nominees and members that wouldn't qualify as either. —The Exotics 1994-Current |

I consider instrumental music to be part of my love of classical music. I don't really lump it with vocal music. While surf is more rock and roll than Leonard and other similar artists, surf lacks lyrics and therefore affects me in a different way. That is why I care more about Leonard than the Ventures. |
Yep, that's a big one as well. Just bought my wife two of his books. Great writer.Please visit our friends in the surf music community:
