Does Ringo belong in Hall of Fame?

I'll go along with "yes". There are already tons of people in there that I wouldn't include in a million years so compared to them I'd say he's deserving.

Sure, he's best known for his Beatles years, obviously, but his string of solo hits are solid. And his RINGO album is actually quite good. He's been touring with his All-Starr Band since like 1989, so he's slogged it out on the road and brought us lots of good times. And good times are one of the reasons we have music and Rock and Roll.

Good reasonable opinion here that I wouldn't dispute.

Well put! I have no problem with Ringo going in as a solo artist.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but speaking of those who need to be in the RRHOF...the Guess Who. Burton Cummings has one of the most unique voices in R&R history. Both Cummings and Randy Bachmann are great song writers and performers, and still gong strong today.

Below, a great interview with Burton Cummings on how he got to be Jim Morrison's taxi driver for an evening...
