He definitely should be. He was a pioneer of the Synth movement. He was original and an excellent
musician.

Without question Howard Jones should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Who can forget the grammy performance with Howard Jones Thomas Dolby and Herbie Hancock.
He's given us some really great music, positive songwriting along with something to think about.
Let's not forget his song "Like to Get to Know You Well" is perfectly placed in the 80's classic movie "Better Off Dead" starring John Cusack.
