I used to think of Boz as more of a "crooner", but after listening more closely, I find that, to me, he has fine R&B style. Some of his lyrics don't flow all that great, but overall an excellent artist. Silk Degrees alone should get him in....

A class act,Sierra,Heart of mine,Just go, and many other great songs, my favourite singer by far,beats all others when he sings a ballad.

Lots of "opinions" here, but it's not about opinions. It's about contributions and endurance in the market. I'm not a big Moody Blues fan, but I think they are the biggest snub of all. It's not about who you like. A band like the Moodys, with over 40 active years, millions of LP's sold and countless hits are surely deserving. Others like Boz Scaggs, 40 years of R&B and still making music on a high level. Todd Rundgren, 40+ years writing and producing. Neither are high profile artists, but the fact that they are still around and still making records and touring...and selling out shows! They may not be your favorite, but they have endurance and have made huge contributions to the world of music. The Spinners, the Doobies, The Cars are just a few more. Everyone in the hall currently is deserving. Maybe not by you, but by enough people to get nominated and inducted. It's not personal taste, it's about what they have done. To me, my personal opinion is moot. It's what and artist has done and how signficant their contribution has been.

No one is more deserving who has not been inducted. This guy is one of the more versatile artist pending. He has had great success y a great ambassador to rock and roll and blues. Please get this gentleman in as soon as you can.

Definitely deserving of nomination.
Maybe this year.

It was stupid that only Steve Miller got inducted and not the whole band. The Hall needs to realize that it is not just the frontman who is important. Inducting the whole band would've gotten Scaggs in that way at least.

Boz is aweful. His whole career was carried by the wonderful studio musicians who played with him. But his tunes are lame and his voice is ridiculous. Embarrassing.

Yes, should be inducted! Don't wait until a family or band member has to sadly accept when he's gone! Remember when he recorded with Duane Allman?? He had to be an early gifted rocker to be joined by him. My first memory of Boz, was Lido Shuffle, riding in the back seat of my Dad's car, 13 years old to Tallahassee, Florida. Rock 104 radio station. Old live oaks shading over Hwy 319. Loved you Boz since then. Think of you every time I'm home.

Get boz into hall of fame

It's a travesty that Dolly Parton is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame (She is a Country artist) and excellent and long time rockers like Boz Scaggs is not. The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a joke and no longer relevant.

Boz Scaggs is definitely a Rock n Roll legend and deserves to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. His longevity as great song writer, he's a great cross over artist. He's mentored so many artist. His voice, music, super talented. Significant contributions to the music world.

Please don't wait until he's no longer here. Boz truly deserves to be inducted.

I first saw Boz perform at Frost Amphitheater (Stanford) in May 1976 during the Silk Degrees era. I have continued to see him regularly (too many times to count) to this day. Most recently my wife and I saw him perform at the Fillmore (SF). His voice (contrary to the lame comment above) remains unique and stellar. His guitar playing has not lost a step. And he has crossed various genres of music including "blue eyed soul" (Silk Degrees), R&B emanating from his childhood, and stepping outside of his comfort zone to record two quite enjoyable albums of standards. It is nothing short of a travesty he is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Are their standards for admission premised on notoriety or acumen?
