    Sam & Dave are definitely in.  Are you saying Buffalo Springfield and
    Yardbirds got in too, or is it that they're expected to make the cut
    next ballot?  (Yardbirds emerged in '65, Buffalo Springfield '67?)
    
    I'm thinking, as your title line implies, that this last ballot had 1966
    as the cutoff, not 1967.  Not all of { Cream, Doors, Grateful Dead, Van
    Morrison, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Frank Zappa } would've been
    passed over.  So Hendrix must've emerged in '66 over in Europe (it was
    '67 in the US).
    
    Then again, there must be names missing.  I can't believe Solomon Burke,
    and several bluesmen including Howlin' Wolf, would be passed over.  - Jay

  The latest bunch of "Hall of Fame" inductees includes the likes of the
  Doors, and Cream for chissakes, but excludes Velvet Underground.

  I thought they might falter in the late 60s (this new "crop" covers up
  through '67) -- your mileage may vary of course.  In my book, they had
  miraculously done OK up to now.

  More complete list - In:  Ruth Brown and Etta James (both passed over
  previously); Creedence Clearwater Revival; Sly & The Family Stone; Van
  Morrison; Cream; The Doors.
  
  Nominated, but passed over for now:  Animals; Buffalo Springfield;
  Grateful Dead; Little Willie John; the Rascals; Rod Stewart; Velvet
  Underground; Frank Zappa.           - Jay

I knew the Doors were unavoidable eventually, but that they should get in
before Bobby Freeman, Bobby Lewis, Bobbie Gentry, Bobby Day, Bobby Hebb, 
Bobby Vee, Bobby Sherman, Bobby Rydell, Bobby Vinton, and James and Bobby 
Purify were tapped to join Bobby Darin in the Hall of Fame is pretty hard
to understand.

  Also "In":  Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

  Also Dinah Washington, producer Milt Gabler, Dick Clark.

Subject: Rock hall of fame director named
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 93 9:38:50 PDT

	CLEVELAND (UPI) -- Dennis Barrie, who shocked Cincinnati in 1990 when
he showed Robert Mapplethorpe's sexually explicit photographs, is the
new director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum.
	Barrie was director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati for
eight years, during the period of its greatest growth in attendance and
artistic stature.
	He was indicted on pandering obscenity during the Mapplethorpe
exhibit but was acquitted.
	Barrie said there is ``a little streak'' in him that enjoys
confronting issues. He said the rock 'n' roll museum would allow him to
continue to deal in controversial matters.
	As director, Barrie will oversee construction of the $84 million
center near Lake Erie.
	Barrie, 46, a native of Cleveland, also will build the staff and
handle the programming of the institution, scheduled to open in 1995.

    Yeah, well I still say it oughta be in Memphis, TN.

Subject: Lennon named to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 93 4:27:40 PDT

	CLEVELAND (UPI) -- The late singer-songwriter John Lennon, already in
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Beatles, will be
inducted for his solo work.
	The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation also announced Wednesday
that the Animals, the Band, Duane Eddy, Grateful Dead, Elton John, Bob
Marley and Rod Stewart will be honored at induction ceremonies Jan. 19
in New York.
	Executive director Susan Evans said the chosen performers represent
artists ``whose music is as relevant today as when they began recording.
''
	The honorees were chosen from a list of nominees by more than 600
music industry professionals, broadcasters, journalists and performers.
	Lennon, assassinated in 1980 outside his New York apartment, was
acknowledged for his solo success after the immensely popular Beatles
broke up in 1970, including his albums ``Imagine'' in 1971 and ``Double
Fantasy,'' on the charts when he died.
	``Few artists have had as much at stake when they set out on solo
careers as John Lennon, and none has met the challenge with greater
spiritual force, personal flair and sheer artistic intelligence,'' the
foundation said.
	The foundation praised the Animals, led by Eric Burdon, as ``one of
the leading bands of the British Invasion of the '60s. It said ''The
House of the Rising Sun`` and other hits capturing ''their raw rhythm
and blues sound`` inspired many other bluesy rockers.
	The Band, known for ``The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down'' and ``Up
On Cripple Creek,'' was noted for music that simulatenously embraced 
``rock 'n' roll, country and western, gospel and all points in between.''
	Guitarist Eddy was known in the late '50s as the ``King of Twang''
for his distinctive technique using the bass strings for melody. His
best known record was ``Cannonball'' in 1958.
	The Grateful Dead, the quintessential San Francisco rock band since
its formation in 1965, remains one of the nation's biggest concert
draws, despite the gray hair of Jerry Garcia and other band members as
well as many of their ``Deadhead'' fans. Among the band's early hits was
``Dark Star.''
	Elton John was recognized for achieving that rare combination of
critical acclaim and favor with mainstream audiences. His hit
recordings, many co-written with Bernie Taupin, range from ``Your Song''
in 1970 to last year's ``The One.''
	Jamaican singer-songwriter Bob Marley, who died of cancer in 1981,
was credited with bringing the reggae sound to rock by mixing songs of
social strife with love songs and other upbeat music. Among the hits he
had with the Wailers was ``I Shot The Sheriff.''
	Rod Stewart, whose early solo career offered ``Maggie May'' and 
``Tonight's The Night,'' has been recording since 1964. His raspy voice
still is very popular, as shown by the success of his latest album, 
``Unplugged...And Seated,'' recorded during a live MTV concert.
	The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is under construction in
Cleveland, where radio disc jockey Alan Freed popularized the term rock
'n' roll in the early 1950s.
	The $84 million museum, designed by I.M. Pei, is expected to be
completed in mid-1995.

Am I the only one to notice that all the inductees are male? Pretty odd....

alan

    what's odd about it?
    are you lamenting the fact that there are few women in
    the hall of fame or that there are few women in rock and roll?
    
    name as many rock and roll bands as you can and see how  many
    women you come up with.
    
    i would guess the engineering hall of fame is mostly men.
    
    pretty odd?

    p.s. - i counted names in note 51.1, which lists inductees
    to that point.  84 inductees (groups and individuals) and
    7 women (solo or in  groups, i.e. - the supremes count as 1).
