Del Shannon is in for Runaway and a bunch of little else. They should be in for nothing less than Crimson and Clover -- the best pop psychedelic song ever. (Strawberry Fields and I Had Too Much to Dream are very, very close)

Tommy James & The Shondells, 19 hits in a row from1966 -1970, 100 million records sold, I'm sure the people who do the voting, their fathers & mothers have bought Tommy James records. Tommy James must get in. Thanks, George

Yes, they had a string of hits, but, like the Grass Roots for example, I put them somewhere in that netherworld between serious musice and straight-off-the-assembly-line pop.  Nothing groundbreaking.

Can't believe they're not in and that they're rated so low on this list.

This was entertainment folks! Whats wrong with that? Tommy James and the Shondels simply made fun music...and a lot of it. Even though it was light, (sometimes just this side of bubblegum), most has held up well over the years. How many generations will rock to Mony Mony??? Chrimson and Clover is still worth a listen and Sweet Cherry Wine, still is so very, very fine. Their top 40 library exceeds 20 hits, all produced during that golden, late 60's, early 70's era.

If any Bubble Gum rockers deserve to be in then these guys do, but I'm not sure they really deserve to be in the hall.

This is a huge miss. Crimson and Clover, Crystal Blue Persuasion, Mony Mony, I Think We're Alone Now, Hanky Panky, Sweet Cherry Wine. Sure it is pop, but these were big big songs.

It's a travesty that this artist does not even get mentioned for a hall of fame nomination. The committee is just baised against top 40 bands that made fun rock and roll, as opposed to bands that made (supposedly) significant albums. This artist has at least 3 or 4 songs that are classics, incl;uding the greatest dance rock song (Mony, Mony) of all time.

Definitely should be in the RIRHOF. Great songs like Crystal Blue, Crimson and Clover, Sweet Cherry Wine, Draggin the Line, Out of the Blue, Mirage and of course the clasic I Think Were Alone Now
