   I'm with you. Ry has made so many contributions to the music world and   
   it's a shame he hasn't been recognized when so many lesser artists   
   have. He should make it in solely on the basis of Buena Vista Social   
   Club and his work on many other film soundtracks. But he's also among   
   the best guitar players in the rock world, especially slide guitar, a   
   great composer and songwriter. And who else has played with as diverse   
   a group as Bill Monroe and Doc Watson, Captain Beefheart, Taj Mahal,   
   The Rolling Stones, Ali Farke Toure and V.M. Bhatt?   
      
   Other mindboggling omissions from the HoF:   
   Lowell George & Little Feat   
   Richard Thompson (don't think he's ever even been nominated!)   
   Al Kooper   
   MC5   
   Jethro Tull (seriously??)   
   King Crimson   
   Phish (even tho I'm not a phan)   
   Los Lobos   
   Brian Eno   
   Willie Nelson   
   Merle Haggard   
   Link Wray   
   Captain Beefheart   
   Carole King (as a performer; she's in as a songwriter)   
   Warren Zevon   
   Gram Parsons (!!!)
