Let's get one thing straight. The Rock Hall of fame or whatever its called may contain many brilliant musical acts, but the entity itself which is the Hall Of Fame is kind of a joke. Look at the people who have been passed over. Look at the non-rock acts that have been enshrined while great rock acts have been left out. When we talk about the Hall of Fame, all we're talking about here is basically a tourist attraction and museum. To those not physically there at the Hall, its merely an arbitrary list. My Hall of Fame is in the CDs and records I play most, which are literally at the top of the pile.
With all this said, does Nugent belong in the Hall? He's a scumbag for sure, in so many ways. But let's take away that fact and look at artistic merit. I'd say he probably should be there. He should be there before many non-rock acts (Miles Davis, however brilliant, was NOT ROCK, and nor was Tupac Shakur). I would say that there are also a number of Rock acts that are not as good as Nugent.
Does anyone seriously think Donna Summer, Linda Rondstadt, and Randy Newman belong in the Rock Hall of Fame and yet Ted Nugent does not?
