I'm all for a good conspriacy theory, but somehow I really doubt this, Steve. The Rock and Roll Hallf of Fame seems to let in just about anybody with even an ounce of credibility as long as they've been around for 25 years plus. And while it is a little odd that Fleetwood Mac were eligible for a full five years before being inducted, I can't imagine that there was such major opposition to them that Mick was told only certain folks could be included in the band's induction.
Regardless, I have to say that as much as I like Bob's work with Fleetwood Mac, I don't consider his not beign inducted as much of a sore spot, except on a perosnal level. Seems to me there could be few institutions more pointless than a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
