[Heeplist] Rock & Roll Hall of Shame

[Todd Clark]

Hey Dust,
You were allowed up to five votes, not just one.  I voted for four - Kiss, 
Purple, Paul Butterfield, and Linda Ronstadt.  Never been a Yes fan and 
didn't see the point in voting for someone I don't like...

Yeah, it's bull?hi#! when Yes and Deep Purple are finally on the ballet. 
Talk about monumental bands! How many millions appreciated them? How awesome 
and timeless have they been? Blue Cheer never even made it there. What a 
joke for history's sake!
Peace,Dust
PS- I voted for Yes with my one vote though DEEP PURPLE probably deserves it 
more since it is Rock n Roll and not a prog"hall of shame".
