Bragg's not particularly well-known in the U.S., but he deserves universal acclaim. His songs sympathetically examine all aspects of our lives: love, beliefs, needs, and maturation. As a young artist, he distilled rock and roll to its core, recording and performing with just his voice and an electric guitar -- and masterfully pulling off that difficult feat. Bragg is a music historian as well, having just written the definitive history of Skiffle, the English launching pad for the artists who became the British Invasion From his Punk roots, Bragg has gone on to interpret many of R&R's forms. But to get Bragg you must read his work, which considers what music is about and how to craft and present songs that will touch people's lives. He's one of a kind.

Haha not a chance of being inducted. British folk music mixed with British punk and British lyrics. He wouldn't even be on radar of the average American music listener. I'm indifferent to his music.
