Hi Jacob:
Just goes to show that it pays to check the source, rather than listen to what
other bands' supporters have to say! On one of the websites, the following is
quoted verbatim from the book, "The Chantays".
"In 1994 the release of THE CHANTAYS Next Set CD rekindled the publics interest
and again gained THE CHANTAYS recognition in the music industry. The CHANTAYS
and Pipeline are featured in two areas of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and
Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1996 The Chantays gained further recognition for
their accomplishments by being inducted into the Hollywood Rock Walk"
Now, (I'll be damned if I can find the site), but another blurb on a different
site, had it that both The Chantays and The Surfaris were actual inductees. I
shoulda gone direct to the HOF website and confirmed this info, but I didn't
imagine the claim would be publicly made, and false at the same time, Mea Maxima
Culpa.
The other points I raised still stand, and I stand by them.
Respectfully,
Bruce D

Enither the Chantays or The Surfaris have been inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. Good call. Both of those bands along with the
Ventures are under 500 most important songs of all-time. But none of
them are inducted.
I prefer the Shadows of the Ventures any day. I think the Shadows
should get in first. The Shadows wrote many more songs themselves. The
Ventures sure did a lot of covers. Granted they wrote some great ones
like Surf Rider. And whenever I look at a ventures albums I see a lot
of Shadows covers.

being fair and accurate in such recognition. Many people have
forgotten the name of the band, (The Chantays) who first recorded the
song "Pipeline", but they got their induction into the R&R Hall of
Fame, years ago, and were cited as having written and recorded one of
the most influential Instrumental tunes of all time. Likewise the
Surfaris, with "Wipe-Out".
