Stewart,
Ouch! Ok, I apologize if my opinions were quite obtuse. I don't know that my remarks warranted that type of personal attack.
Please allow me to restate what was previosly poorly expressed.
A: It was my observation that wimpy bands seem less likely to have Rock and Roll cred.
B: I was using the O'Jays as an arbitrary example. I personally to not consider them a rock and roll band.
C: I think the Hollies deserve to be in.
Reserving the right to be wrong,
Marty
