Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (Good ol' Classic Rock)
Ramones (Huge influence on a ton of people to follow)
Heart (Kick ass rock band)
Talking Heads (Top of their genre. Blondie can wait)
Rory Gallagher (Cause I'm a fan. It seems only guitar players know who he is)
Dick Dale (Another that influenced a lot of people to follow. Including Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd/Strawberry Alarm Clock fame)

***Wilson Pickett is already in the hall of fame (1991)***

So are Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Ramones and Talking Heads, all in 2002, but this is a different Hall of Fame!

Do ya wanna give your 7th/final vote to Wilson Pickett or what?
