People, Rolling Stone is a joke. Everything RS likes or dislikes depends on how its publisher, Jann Wenner, feels at any given time. He may feel Gord is too folk oriented to be on the list...so that's how it goes. Jann hates the Moody Blues, so they have never been even nominated to be in the stupid "Hall of Fame". That's absurd. He couldn't stand Neil Diamond until around 2005 when Neil hooked up with Rick Rubin for those two great albums: "12 Songs" and
"Home Before Dark". So only take RS's take on music with a grain of salt. If Jann isn't happy with a certain artist, he/she gets shunned. It's a travesty and I encourage all of you to treat is as such.
