ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAMER OR MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL FRANCHISE?
  1. Comets
  2. Isotopes
  3. Blue Caps
  4. Blue Crabs
  5. Crickets
  6. Sand Gnats
  7. Famous Flames
  8. Thunderbolts
  9. Midnighters
  10. Knights
  11. Miracles
  12. Miracle

The odd numbered answers are the Hall of Famers, having been given that honor years after their more recognizable front men (Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, James Brown, Hank Ballard, and Smokey Robinson, respectably) were enshrined. Finally there's a ray of hope for the Waves, Beaters and Cruisers.

    More importantly (and likely): there's hope for the E Street Band, albeit too late for Danny and Clarence.

    I will not rest until the Houston Babies are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and they have their own wing in Cooperstown.  THE HOUSTON BABIES.

    At least the Heartbreakers area already in.

    Which is interesting, since arguably Petty's best two albums are billed just to him rather than to "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers," though the band plays on both of the albums billed to Petty alone.

    I'm not sure I see the Revolution having that strong a case, as much as I love Prince.  They toured with him for a number of years, sure, but the lineup shifted quite a bit.  The "classic" Revolution lineup was really only together in studio for three albums (Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, and Parade) - although the classic lineup members are credited with background vocals on 1999, Prince played about 99% of the instruments in the studio.
