See now that Paul Rogers was in this band too. Got their greatest hits album, listened & loved it & I was thinking (before I knew about Paul): "These guys have alot of songs that sound sorta like Bad Company. I bet if they had merged with that band & been 'Free Company', they'd be in the Hall".

Maybe they can do a Small Faces - Faces kind of thing & get them in?

Free should be inducted. All Right Now & Fire & Water are classic songs. These guys were rock n roll. Nowadays all this watered down rock turns to mindless pop & gets inducted. Paul Rodgers is one of the biggest snubs. Most critics & magazines would list him as one of rock's greatest vocalists. Free is one of those groups that if you dig through their catalogue of songs you become more & more impressed. Love Paul's guitar work too. KING

Both of Paul Rodgers collaborations, Free and Bad Company have good chance of receiving nominations.

Free is the far and away best ROCK&ROLL band not in the Rock Hall. Paul Rodgers in my opinion has the #2 best rock voice in history behind Freddie Mercury! Hugely influential vocalist to anyone in the business today! Paul Kossoff died too young and never got the credit he deserved. They released so much great material in a short period of time, on par with The Doors and Jimi. Andy Fraser another highly respected musician by his peers and a major influence on Pearl Jams Jeff Ament and others. Simon Kirke, excellent drummer. Their "GLARING OMISSION" from this "club" is a travesty. Listen to "All Right Now", "Fire and Water" , "Mr. Big" and "Wishing Well" . Then tell me this band is not worthy....

“All Right Now” is good and all, but it was really hearing “Fire and Water” that made me sit up and take notice of them. Influential band, as others have noted. Their debut is underrated.

Yeah, check out this live studio performance of “Fire and Water,” which should really be inducted in the Song Project at some point:

It really is downright criminal that Free are not yet in the R&R Hall of Fame considering that there are some pretty iffy inductees already in.

Best uk band in the early 70's ..young boys writing & playing long before boy bands were invented by crap studios .. all right now was ok but they wrote many better songs …

i love this band!! unfortunately their overshadowed a lot of rodgers and kirkes next band bad co, honestly i think if you combined the 2 bands like small faces/faces, youd have a great case and a decent shot at induction

Free should definitely be in.

Das diese Band bisher nicht in der Hall of Fame ist, ist eine Schande! Paul Rogers ist einer der besten Sänger ever! Wenn man bedenkt, welche "musikalischen Nullen" mittlerweile aufgenommen wurden, kann man es einfach nicht verstehen!!! Ich für meinen Teil denke, das andere Kriterien ausschlaggebend sind für die Aufnahme oder nicht Aufnahme in diese sog. Hall of Fame.
