    If Phil Collins is a DOUBLE INDUCTEE (Genesis and SOLO) ,then WHY can't Smokey be ?
    This is LUDICROUS!! Smokey's greatest recording success was as a member of THE MIRACLES…not solo. So …
    WHY HASN'T SMOKEY BEEN INDUCTED AS A MEMBER OF THE MIRACLES ?
    CURTIS MAYFIELD is in….as a member of THE IMPRESSIONS and SOLO. TINA TURNER has been inducted TWICE…with IKE and SOLO. Each individual member of THE BEATLES has gone in TWICE… So…why has SMOKEY only gone in ONCE ?

    The Rock Hall ignores so many 50s/60s stars and greats who inspired everyone, but just wants to be hip and sell tickets to younger people? They still need to play catch-up, as there are still 50+ earlier snubs easily. It's very shocking and insulting that people here said older rock is done.

    Please make justice.

    About the 2026 Inductees, K-Dawg wrote:
    Some throw Chubby Checker around as an anomaly. Likewise, Joe Cocker. The committee is all over the map at the moment. I don't think we're completely done with acts from "way before". The reason I think you shouldn't/can't have a eligibility year window is simple. Since they first started the RRHOF, it's been a hodgepodge set by different minds. This same thing happened in baseball and it's kind of ruined it because of grandstanding and limiting; people who arguably should be there as they are a part of the history aren't, for various reasons, yet you can't go back and retroactively reset the rules. The RRHOF is much the same way. I think it's better to have overrepresentation than under. The Monkees are always my personal pet project of the oldest bands, but Tommy James, Jethro Tull...the list is infinite. You'll never satisfy everyone, but it probably at this point isn't the "ultimate honor" that it might have been even 20 years ago
