Jan Wenner is ousted by the Board.
Is this the same guy that many in BOC circles think he's the one who keeps them off the ballot?

I have read that a few times. But I have absolutely no idea of it's validity....

Either way good riddance. Guy sucked long before this latest quote of his came to light. No Wonder Thin Lizzy has never made the HOF if that’s this guy’s attitude.

The entire HOF toilet bowl, board and all should be flushed. The nomination and enshrinement process needs completely redesigned and made fair, honest and equitable.

It's got to the point now that not being in the HOF is a badge of honour.  |

Anything that's good for the band is good by me! And your detail is exactly the story I've read in a few different places over the years too.... |

The idea that bands like AC/DC were more deserving is to me an insult.And I'm still waiting for Supertramp to be on the ballot tho I have no hope for Fairport Convention even tho they are British folk rock icons. |

There are a LOT of worthy bands that haven’t insulted JW, I wouldn’t hold your breath on this making much difference for BÖC.

Isn't the RnR HOF running out of rock acts to induct? Not like they're making many more of them.

Isn't the RnR HOF running out of rock acts to induct? Not like they're making many more of them. Just search for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Snubs and you'll see a LOT left. Different experts have different lists. BOC are on some. Then there are the random polls of names submitted by fans. I've seen BOC mentioned in a number of them.
The names on these lists aren't third rate garage bands. Many if not most are very recognizable - even by me. Some aren't to my taste, but are never the less icons in their own right.
Unless they increase the quantity of inductees in one way or another or go to some different model most of these groups will never ever have a chance.

I loved that when Pearl Jam were indicted Jeff Ament wore a shirt or tie I believe with the names of numerous uninducted bands, BOC among them.
