Which Group is most Conspicuous by its Absence from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Since the induction of the first set of recording artists into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, the process has not been without controversy. However, in recent years vocal minorities have put undue political pressure on the Hall, which has led to the the enshrinement of niche and marginal acts such as Rush and KISS. These machinations have brought into high relief the absence of some of the most pioneering rock acts. This blog post examines one of the most glaring omissions from the Hall.
