RnB vocal groups in the Rock Hall?

?QUESTION?

There is a shortage of RNB vocal groups in the Hall. Not including the doo-wop groups,we have ...


Little Anthony & the Imperials
The Impressions
The Dells
The Temptations
The Four Tops
The O'Jays
Sam and Dave
The Jackson 5
**The Isley Brothers** (band but earlier years vocal group)

That's it! So really just 7 groups. No Miracles, Spinners, Stylistics, ect. What gives.

Don't know why the Delfonics, Spinners and Stylistics are in. As for the Miracles, let's say the politics for letting Smokey Robinson as a non-performer is one of the most crooked in rock history, though there's no doubting Smokey's big impact in music.

The Miracles' music from 1961 to 1972 was influential.

The Spinners are the top selling RnB groups from the 70s, (not the Tempts or O'Jays, though I know the J5 sold more than them.)

I still don't get it though. The Spinners should've been in it long time ago. But I'm thinking it's because Jann Wenner is feeling himself too much.

Rock Hall is like the Grammy's, it's a joke. I'm not sure if artist/musicians should see it as a badge of honor if they never get voted in.
