Onto the question of The Shadows vs The Ventures -
Jacob - your preferences aside, how in the world would one possibly expect to
see an act that was never promoted, never played on US Top-40 Radio, and never
sold more than a handful of records in the U.S. - be inducted into an American
Rock Hall of Fame?
Have The Shadows earned it? Jacob, help me out here, I can't remember, when
was The Shadows' last U.S. Tour? Or how many times and engagaements did they
ever play in the U.S.?

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".
