I'd vote for him! I saw him perform, back in the early '80s. We were sitting within a few feet of him as he and his "band/orchestra" provided the music/soundscapes for a Merce Cunningham show....John Cage in the RRHOF?

And still they ignore the Guess Who.2019 inductees just announced:
Radiohead
Janet Jackson
Def Leppard
The Cure
Roxie Music
The Zombies
Stevie Nicks
Personally happy to see The Zombies recognized. Don't understand the Janet Jackson decision. Never a huge Radiohead, Cure, or Roxie Music fan, but OK. Could go either way on Nicks.
Discuss.
If it was truly Rock and Roll they would have run out of inductees after Elvis and Carl Perkins.I think the reason many disagree is some people confuse pop or dance music with Rock 'n' Roll.
I saw them in the early '70s! They should have been in a LONG TIME AGO.And still they ignore the Guess Who.
