The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame does not deserve Harry! He is in a better place than a hall; he’s forever in our hearts!

Harry needs to be recognized for future generations. This is why needs to be put in the Hall of Fame. Very very gifted talented musician.

@@gretahottunareed , you don’t need to be in a sham of an institution to be recognized. Barry White Blue Oyster Cult Carly Simon The Carpenters Cher The Commodores Dave Matthews Band Devo Diana Ross Duran Duran Eurythmics George Michael Gloria Estefan INXS Jethro Tull Jim Croce The Monkees Motley Crue Ozzy Osbourne Pat Benatar Pet shop boys Peter Paul and Mary, (what the hell) The Pointer Sisters Smashing pumpkins The Spinners Steppenwolf Thin Lizzy Three Dog Night Tommy James and the Shondells War Warren Zevon Weezer “Weird Al” Yankovic I’m not even listing the most famous people before them. The rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame is an embarrassment to rock ‘n’ roll.

I had a chance to meet and interact with Harry at L.A. Beatlefests. Harry's final Beatlefest in 1992, we invited him up to our hotel room to watch game 6 of the World Series. Harry stayed for over an hour, and was willing to sign all of the LP covers I brought along. Harry also told stories of each of the album covers... sadly, no one videotaped this encounter... Anyway, Harry is loved and missed, and most assuredly deserves enshrinement into the R & R Hall of Fame...

I always thought he was in a class of his own . A true one off .

While I was getting Harry's autograph on Aerial Ballet we were arguing about gun ownership,eventually Harry took his sunglasses off looked me in the eye and said "well that's my opinion"....That is Rock and Roll.

I love Harry Nilsson, sentimental-nostalgist.....liver of life.... with beautiful wife Una and children.....

I tried to spread the news... Induct Harry into the R&R Hall of Fame! But nobody seems to care and have forgotten him, or don't even know of him. I found Harry and his music 4 years ago and I think he is fantastic! I feel I have seen the light, and other people's eyes are closed. They are missing out!

put that ol boy in already!

I'm a Harry fan❤️

come on people this is a chance where maybe your vote could count. Dont we all love harry?

Nobody who is already in will have the least bit of respect until Harry is in the club.

I love this ❤

It would be about time !!!!!!!

dave barcelon Agreed!

He Should be in the hall of fame End Of

Hope to be among the living when my spirit animal is nominated. It doesn't fucking matter though. We are all grape!!!!!!!

I simply love Harry's music & lyrics. As for talent, Lennon & McCartney nailed it when they credited him as their favourite American artist AND group: "Lennon and McCartney appeared at a press conference in New York. Asked to name their favourite American artist, Lennon replied ‘Nilsson’. The two gave the same response when asked their favourite group."

how about jethro tull and the rutles. harry was the beatles favourite band. maybe sir paul could help out here.

He's probably too cool for the rock & roll hall of fame

These artists are still not "IN" the R&RHOF but should have been when first eligible, Harry, Nick Cave & the bad seeds, Marianne Faithfull, Joe Jackson (another musical genius), STYX, King Crimson & Al Stewart. It's not who's talented its who they can induct that can keep them trending & 'relevant" .

To be perfectly honest, it is an utter disgrace that he is not already in it. Having a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without Nilsson is like sex with oneself - interesting and briefly satisfying but hardly the real thing.

the RHOF has been horseshit for over 25 years now but our beloved Harry Nilsson will make it in to the RHOF sooner or later....we just have to wait for the OK from the young panel (age 18 to 23) who believe inducting artist's like Justin Bieber, Snoop Dog, Miley Cyrus, Drake and The Cookie Monster...MUST COME BEFORE HARRY!!

it might have been nice 10 or 15 years ago (or better yet, while he was still amongst us - his first year or two eligible), but the HoF has kinda turned into a silly, arbitrary exercise in inclusion and exclusion that's only real value is in getting a varied group of music-makers to put on a show once a year. Some others remaining "unworthy": Steve Miller, Chicago, Joe Cocker, Warren Zevon, Boz Scaggs, Three Dog Night, the Guess Who, Ian Dury, and of course, the Monkees. Some of these folks (including Harry) are known for having a decent dose of good humor in their work, but the HoF decision makers seem to take themselves very seriously. I thought there'd been an exception to this when KISS made the cut, but if you saw Tom Morello's induction speech you realized that, no..... they actually thought their music was as significant as the packaging and the marketing. So if it happens and the Nilsson family appreciates it.... great. Otherwise at best it can spread the Harrylove to some young'uns who might still be unaware.

guess I can scratch the first two off that list - both more than 20 years past eligibility. Kinda like going to your grade-school reunion and having one of the "jocks" tell you that maybe you shouldn't have always been one of the last ones picked for those schoolyard games..........gee...thanks

Harry should have been in first initiation. Hall is a joke. When rap is in before Nilsson what would you expect.

Harry Nilsson was a great singer, but thanks to a lot of drug usage back in the day, his voice started to change, up to the point where he seriously wrecked his vocal cords during the recording sessions for his 1974 album Pussy Cats, a covers album he did with John Lennon. But Nilsson Schmilsson is one of the greatest albums ever made.

The rock n roll hall of fame is worthless anyway.

No he sang off pitch and refused ro tour
