wee thre kings of guitar are, carrying gifts

Three Kings

BB was inducted to the Rock Hall in 1987. Albert though has been more influential on rock guitar than BB has. Plus, his crossover appeal is undeniable: no other bluesmen appealed equally to black and white audiences without compromising their style. Albert deserves to be in the Hall as does Freddie King, Otis Rush, and Albert Collins. How often do the old rock players get credit for their "greatness" when they were ripping off the black bluesmen and often without giving them due credit? Not saying they are unworthy but give credit where credit is due...to their credit the Rolling Stones, Clapton, and SRV have. Oh and induct Hubert Sumlin too while they are at it: another original.

Seriously? B.B. King is not in?!!! What freaking PLANET are the selectors living on? B.B. hasn't influenced more people than GOD? Wow.....................wow.................wow.... .......

I love ALBERT KING, but he was a blues man, and this is a Rock Hall.

no

If Clapton, Cream, Hendrix, and Stevie Ray are all in. The originator needs to be. More Rock oriented than BB King and equal in talent.

Let's get B.B. in first then we'll start working our way thru the rest of teh rock royalty.

Blues meets Soul. Long live Stax!
