And the 6 who were chosen?
The 6 marked with "*".
Seems like a crime for Pat Benatar not to make it.
And some would argue that Depeche Mode is a flake compared to The Dave Matthews Band.
Of that list above, I would have voted for Judas Priest. JUST KIDDING! Doobie Brothers, even though I'm not a big fan of the Doobies.
Important note: 3 of my favorites -- Bon Jovi, Genesis, Chicago -- are already in the Hall....... as they should be.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
