Definitely should be inducted in 2017

Definitely should be inducted in 2022, and should have been in years ago. Such a good band, and sadly some of their hits have been lost in time. "Pulling Mussels (from the shell)" is an absolute banger and there's no disputing that. Hopefully we'll see some wrongs righted soon enough

Genuinely shocked Squeeze hasn't been inducted! If the Go-Gos can be inducted, I would think Squeeze would have been in before them.

Squeeze is awesome. Let them in. They are solid like the Pretenders and Elvis Costello. Such a great sound from these guys. Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have held their own coming up on 5 decades.

I saw Glenn Dilbrook tonight at Daryl's House in Pawling, NY owned by Daryl Hall. He was amazing! A true rock and roll hall of famer! Great energy, great singing and musicianship, Squeeze's songs are incredible and their lyrics are so unique! Very British! They totally deserve to be in the hall of fame.

Forget that they haven't been inducted. They have never even been considered for induction. they aren't even on the list of snubbed artists. I don't get it. Squeeze belongs in the hall.

Squeeze are a very literate, melodic pop/rock band in a similar vein to The Beatles, The Kinks, The Jam etc. The trouble is they're simply TOO BRITISH to be embraced by the America-centric voters of the r&r hof. As much as I love them, I don't think they have had the crossover appeal required to get a nomination. To be honest though, who cares? It doesn't stop the fans from enjoying their music. It's the loss of the rock hall.

Catchy , Loveable, Colorful and a staple on Rock Radio around the world for over four decades. SQUEEZE is over quaklified for such a thing as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

What do you expect from a bunch of phoney assholes at the R.R.H.O.F they are no different than Hollywood. The GOGOS? GOD HELP US.

When I look at some of the members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame I have to wonder what it takes to get in when a group such as Squeeze has never even been considered. 4 decades of music and a phenomenal live show group who has a large following of loyal fans. They should be at the top of any musical groups for nomination.
