Oh, I understand. Just making the "long arc" point for Cliff. Not sure why Cooper's not inducted either though I am not a huge fan but I consider him more worthy than a reggae star, who maybe should be saved fior the reggae hall of fame as I don't know how much he's influenced rock music. I always have thought it was funny how they arrived at their picks. Sure, Cooper's influence is limited to shock rock acts like Marilyn Manson and maybe Gwar for the most part, but at least he's ROCK.

Scott, I have no problem with Cliff's induction, nor The Hollies (who certainly have a longer "hit gap" than Cliff and Cooper). I just don't understand why Coop is still on the outside and disagreed with some of Drew's suppositions.
