Why Aren’t They In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame: Alabama
Roughly 1/5 of all albums (and album equivalents) sold in the United States is for country music. For many people, this may be completely unbelievable because country music is so seldom on their radar. I grew up in rural central … Continue reading

Why Aren’t They In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame: Kansas
