Once again, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame has jilted both The Ventures and Captain Beefheart. They've STILL not been inducted! The Ventures held the record for most hits until the Beatles came along, and are still the most successful instrumental band in the world. They basically made surf music a household name. So why deny them? And Captain Beefheart is regarded as one of the most innovative and creative geniuses the music world has ever seen. These Hall of Shame idiots aren't forgetful. They're just a bunch of morons. They're instead gonna induct Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, R.E.M., The Ronettes, Patti Smith and Van Halen! I mean c'mon. I don't deny that The Ronettes and Patti Smith are deserving. But how about some of the 60's artists they've skipped? What about all the great blues players overlooked? For shame.

Man, that really sux! I LOVE the Ventures. Play them all the time. They really deserve better. I've never been too happy with most of the bands that they've picked over the years for the hall of fame.

The Ventures - The Ventures
Here's some interesting facts: The Ventures have sold to date at least 90 million albums. They've have written over 1000 tunes, and released over 250 albums including compilations. 37 of these have hit the US charts. The Ventures have been together as a group for over 46 years and have never taken a year off from concerts or recording. http://www.theventures.com/
