 Oh, and as far as I could tell when I went to the RNR Hall of Fame David Crosby is the most inducted person (3 times for the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, CSN/Y).

isn't clapton in there like 5 times? [/b]

Don't think so but am not sure.  They had a montage of all the years inductees and I remember him in twice (Cream and solo I believe).  I guess he could be there for the Yardbirds, John Mayall, and that 70's band after Cream whose name escapes me. [/b]

Blind Faith.
 
 Clapton is in 3 times - Yardbirds, Cream and solo:

Okay, I must have missed the Yardbirds induction on the montage.  So what do they do with such bands as the Yardbirds (Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were all the guitarist at one stage or another), induct all the members from different incarnations.  God forbid that Guided By Voices get inducted then. [/b]

There is some discretion on who is inducted.  I recall something about the guy who played bass for AC/DC on High Voltage and Let There Be Rock being snubbed by the Young brothers and excluded from induction.

And Nirvana.
 
 Then there's the class E legends that would come under the heading, "personal legengs". For example, shows you saw that you will never forget, even though the artist probably didn't make much of a dent on the music world.
 
 For me that would be Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel and Shane, God bless him, MacGowan to name just a few.
 
 Shane MacGowan is a legend but what class would you put him in...He's defiately an E for me but I think he also deserves to be in a different class as well.

Exactly meathead!
 George gets more play left AND right of the dial.
 Hank gets very little to none.
 Therefore following your own logic. George is a legend and Hank isn't. You did make this reference to the Fall!
 
 Since Clear Channel owns something like 70% of the radio dial. I guess they now are the purveyors of 'legendary' standards.

Are you not familiar with the term "left of the dial"? Listen to the Replacements song.
 
    Left of the dial refers to public and college radio stations to the far left of your radio dial, to the left of 92. Clear Channel does not own any of these stations. You will be able to hear quite a bit of Hank, and little George. But in his defense, George Strait is quite a bit more palatable than Garth.

    The Clear Channel references go right over my head since I don't listen to any commercial radio stations.

Why do you hope you will never hear an Uncle Tupelo song if you've never heard one yet? How do you know you won't like them?
 
    Unclle Tupelo played the Old 9:30 Club a number of times back in the early 90's. You probably would have been too busy listening to your wussy Erasure and Depeche Mode albums to take notice even if you had been in this country.

 I have never heard one of their songs hopefully I never will. Clearly she is not a legend to me.
 
 Legend is such a subjective term....
 
 I guess there are class A legends like Hendrix or the guy from the doors with the large willy
 
 Its pretty hard to argue about class A legends.
 
 then there are class B legends pretty popular and newsworthy, but no large willy. Perhaps  the Smiths or the Pixies.
 
 then there are class C legends,
 
 cult bands who did something great,
 
 say television or the fall.
 
 than there are class D legends. Bands or artistes who only the mentally deranged would describe as legends, perhaps uncle tupelo and oasis.

 HA! I can see it now.
 
 "Hello, my name is Shane and I'm an alcoholic"
 
 "NO SHIT!" reply the fellow AAA members.

 Odd place for such an admission, though I'll admit that drinking and driving don't mix.

Legends = topocentric!  Atomic Kitten, Busted and Coldplay are all legends in their own minds presently in the UK.  More hype than talent.
 
 Legend: Rory Gallagher Not Legend: Jack White?
