The only one I liked was "Rich Girl," & I was about 12 years old.

I agree with Chili about the prog rockers, and would throw Rush in that mix.

I hate Rush & the prog rockers. I've always hated that sort of sonic pomposity in rock music. Give me Sons of the Pioneers over that bloatedness every time.

As for people who got passed over by the Hall, I'd throw Bob, Billy, and Rick in for the Mac, and Gram Parsons, Gene Parsons, and Clarence White in for the Byrds. (Oddly, the country Byrds seem to be more relevant these days.)

Gram Parsons definitely. The "Grievous Angel" album is an enormously influential classic (obviously not with today's rappers but with normal people). Even Tom Petty once said that he was trying to capture a "feel" that Parsons & Emylou had with the song "Insider."
