Shameful. Jack was highly regarded by his peers. Grace Slick's favorite.;)
Poor Marty Balin, the only one of the Airplane who didn't tap it, according to her. ;)

Read her autobiography a couple of months ago, she is brutally fucking honest, not only with others but with herself as well.

I noticed Jorma Kaukonen missing from R.S. 250 guitarists. It doesn't surprise me. R.S. record reviewers were pretentious back in 1970.
I think they do it for the buzz. They also have a shockingly low number of females on the list. Jann said back in the day nobody but white males had the skill to move rock and roll forward, so what do you expect?

Linda Ronstadt wouldn't cooperate with R.S. after a shitty review and it's thought Wenner was the reason she didn't get into the "Rock and roll" Hall of fame for so long. Eventually, they couldn't deny it, probably pressured by people like Glenn Frey and Don Henley. Frey gave a great intro the night she was inducted. She didn't attend and doesn't care.:p It hasn't been a rock and roll hall for decades.

I love Dolly, but like she said, she ain't rock and roll.
