Because the Hall is more interested in rap acts like Beastie Boys.

How many 70’s soft rock folk guys in?

Gordon Lightfoot? He in?

I’m NOT making the case that he shouldn’t be in, just asking a question.

I know Cat Stevens made it, but he is more 60’s. I know the 60’s ALWAYS gets extra love.

.... and he probably bit the bullet before his time. If he'd lived longer there's no telling how many more songs he'd be remember for (Hall of Fame wise).

I think he has enough to be in there.

Hands down one of my top 5 artists. Don't care about Hall of Fame, just wish he could've lived on to make more music. The guy had a gift.

Vastly underrated. We all know the hits - some of which are fantastic. It's the album tracks/lesser known songs that showcase how great he was:

New York's Not My Home
One Less Set Of Footprints
Photographs and Memories
It Doesn't Have To Be That Way


He had the great Marty M by his side. He was what Don Rich was to Buck Owens.

He had one hit album in the UK in '69. '70 through '73 were his big years.

Croce's hit career went from '72 to '73.

They were contemporaries. But Croce never converted to Islam, so he's not in the Hall of Fame.

It’s a travesty, sham, and a mockery. It’s a traveshamockery.

Why does anyone care who is in the rock hall of fame. It is inherently pointless.
