As Rush prepares for the June 12, 2012, release of its long-awaited studio project Clockwork Angels, questions about the band’s continuing absence in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were bound to come up. Frontman Geddy Lee had a classic comeback
The Spinners, though finalists for the 2012 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, came up short. It was one of the only times something like that’s happened for the greatest soul group of the early 1970s.
Carlos Santana has had his share of accolades, fame and fortune. Since his explosive debut more than four decades ago, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has sold some 90 million records and earned 10 Grammys — including a record-tying nine for a single album, 1999′s album of the year Supernatural.
