I am not a big fan of the place but on the whole I agree with the early choices but when Percy Sledge gets in and not the Sex Pistols?
Percy Sledge has a wonderful voice and a great song but I wouln't put him in the Rock n Roll part of my collection.
He is a rock influence no question...just like the Ojays but Soul or R & B is a different catagory.
The Flamingos were OK, I even have a few of their records but they were DO WOP not rock at all
Great Rock Bands off the top of my head not in there include:
The Cure
The Jam
Only the Clash have been accepted.
When I was at the museum I wandered onto the floor where normally people don't go (I tend to do that)
It was the Rock n Roll 'Board Room'and I started reading the list of 'Top Donors'.
When I hit BROOKS BROTHERS (As in the suits no Rock & Roll performer would ever wear);I knew something was wrong.
