That's your opinion. JT has plenty of longtime fans that would vehemently disagree with you.

An innovative one?
Look, if a band's eligebility into the HOF rested on everyone's individual tastes there would be NO bands in there at all. For every band you can name there's going to be some self-proclaimed expert out there who thinks his opinion should hold sway over everyone else's who'll say that band doesn't deserve inclusion because "they suck".
Fact is I'm not a balls-on diehard fan of every act I named either, but I do possess the wherewithal to at least acknowldege their place in rock history and the role each one played. "Maybe" to Rush? Please. This is a band that is 3rd in the world (behind the Beatles and the Stones) for the most gold and platinum albums. (something like 23 and 14, respectively). Yet mutt is giving them a "maybe".... yeah, sure guys.
