2018 Update on the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame: 2019 Update

2018 honorees include the Cars, Bon Jovi, Dire Straits, and the Moody Blues. While it's about time some of these groups got in, there are still many deserving groups that are still on the outside looking in. Here are 10 still on the outside looking in. The Zombies are in as a part of the 2019 class.

1.     Supertramp: Old Christine’s favorite band. The Hall would be Bloody Well Right to induct them.
2.     Emerson, Lake & Palmer: 2/3 of this prog-rock super-group died in 2016.
3.     Bad Company: Super-group with ex-Free band-mates Simon Kirke and Paul Rodgers.
4.     Three Dog Night: It would bring Joy to the World if this group with 3 lead vocalists made it in to the Hall.
5.     Grand Funk Railroad: They're getting closer to their home in the HOF.
6.     Steppenwolf: Nominated in 2017, but not inducted. Wherever Jon Kay is at the moment, he is certainly wearing sunglasses.
7.     REO Speedwagon: Roll with the Changes and Don’t Let Him Go are a couple of this 1980s pop-rock group's hits.
8.     Foreigner: It’s Urgent that this group gets in.
9.     The Guess Who / Bachman Turner Overdrive: Let's hope the Hall takes care of business and inducts Bachman and Cummings.
10.  The Zombies / Argent: Rod Argent’s first group, known for “Time of the Season” and “She’s Not There.”
10. Boston: This group is strong enough to get in on their 1976 debut album alone. Did they really do anything else though?

Honorable Mentions: Jethro Tull, Judas Priest, J. Geils Band, Iron Maiden, T.Rex, Mott the Hoople, Mötley Crüe, King Crimson, The Monkees, Blue Oyster Cult, The Doobie Brothers, Thin Lizzy, Styx, and the Scorpions
