And here's where it gets complicated. 1968 was a tremendous year for new rock artists, as illustrated by the 17 debuting artists from that year making the actual Hall already, not to mention several deserving artists that have been snubbed repeatedly and still aren't inducted. Unfortunately, only 8 artists were inducted in 1993, meaning that eight of the 16 artists from the "Class Of 1993" that I've identified as "ASAP" inductees will have to wait until at least 1994 to gain induction into my version of the Hall. Before now, no "ASAP" nominee has ever had to wait to get induction.
The following artists from the "Class of 1993" have been inducted into the actual RNR Hall Of Fame:
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Doors
Sly And The Family Stone
Van Morrison
The Grateful Dead
Al Green
David Bowie
Pink Floyd
The Velvet Underground
Buffalo Springfield
Paul McCartney
Isaac Hayes
Traffic
Buddy Guy
Leonard Cohen
Bobby Womack
Jeff Beck
The following artists from the "Class of 1993" have been removed from consideration from my hall:
Al Kooper
Anne Murray
Brian Auger
Larry Norman
Nazz
Silver Apples
Spooky Tooth
The Jaggerz
The Sir Douglas Quintet
