What makes you think Todd Rundgren is worthy? I'm not disagreeing; I'm a
long time fan and one time fanatic. I'm picking this one artist off your
list because I actually moderate a Todd list, and each year when the
inductees are announced there is a thread about should he be in there. So
I'm curious how you make the case for him.
I have no freaking idea what the criteria are. Might be as simple as, the
artist is famous (it IS the hall of fame after all, not the hall of talent.)
