Mike, I agree.... when taken in the context of circa 1970, the Stooges, MC5 and Velvet Underground were doing things that virtually no one else was doing, plus they influenced bands like the Clash and just about any other important punk/garage band that followed... and it's easy to prove since those later artists readily admit the influence plus just look at the song structures and lyrical slant of THOUSANDS of songs that followed... I can understand that some folks might not like the way their music sounded but because they were so far out there, their influence and importance is paramount.
When our anthology came out a couple years ago (Continental Crawler - Cars, Cards and Questionable Women), can you imagine how THRILLED we were to read reviewers explain how we had taken the elements of those bands and incorporated them into our music?

On what basis are The Stooges not worthy? They were an extremely influential on punk and garage rock.

My three cents....
I'd take ABBA over Iggy & the Stooges any day, anytime, any year. I
really don't believe THE STOOGES are RRHOF worthy. (2 cents worth)
As far as THE HOLLIES go, it's damn well about time. Well deserved.
