Why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke: The Dave Clark Five are inductees. The MC5 aren't.

Well, okay, actually that's just one reason why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Check out the full inductees list sometime, and you'll find at least a half-a-dozen headscratchers. All of which is to say that The Monkees really don't *need* the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to annoint them.

For the Monkees to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, Jann Wenner would actually have to learn something about rock history. Good luck with that.

Look to Motown for classic, stars and bands that didn't play their own instruments (except Stevie, of course).

I'm not a Monkee-hater so much as I can't get excited enough to raise them above other '60s icons like The Kinks, The Zombies or even The Animals, God help me. But I will say that as a “pre-fab four” they made the most out of what could have been a really raw deal.

And I like most of their hits just fine (except for a certain oft-played 'believer'), but they get serious points taken off for “Head”, a movie that even I, weirdo that I might be, just can't get through.
