Innovative Celtic folk-rock band fronted by the highly talented and literate Mike Scott. They're up there with the greats in my opinion but have never really "broke through" to the mainstream. Would be great to see them honoured at the rock hall but I very much doubt it will ever happen.

One of the best bands ever, but they're Scottish. R&R hall of fame consistently snubs Scottish artists for some crazy reason.

Mike Scott is the best songwriter of the '80s (possibly tied with Neil Finn). It would be criminal for The Waterboys to be snubbed, but I've a feeling they will be, due to their lack of success overseas.
