Tom Waits
Dr John
Darlene Love
Neil Diamond
Alice Cooper Band.
I had to look up Darlene Love, so not much I can say there. Diamond is a lock, nice and deserved for Coop and the band, Dr John has left his mark and you have to acknowledge the great artists, Waits gets lots of love.
I guess no real problems with this group.

Alice Cooper. I like Coop as much as the next headbanger, but c'mon. Hall of Fame material? It could be worse. Could be last year's apocalypse: Run-DMC. The mind wobbles.

Cooper deserves HOF.
Everyone - everyone - has heard School's Out. He and David Bowie are the godfathers of theatrical rock. In the early 70's, Alice Cooper was legendary, and he's still going strong today. He's still doing it, nearly 45 years later.
Alice Cooper (band) and Alice Cooper (solo) have spawned many, many copycats and influenced many as well. This one was long overdue.
