Well if one-hit-wonder Joe Tex and The Dave Clark 5 can get nominated, why not Jeff Lynne (and/or ELO)? His innovative achievements far outweigh any of the other nominations.

I echo Davie and Martin's sentiments. I am disappointed to see that Jeff Lynne has been overlooked yet again.

The Dave Clark Five one hit wonders? Give me a break! Their inclusion in the Hall has been long overdue. Name a British Invasion band other than The Beatles & possibly The Stones that have had more hits. Guess which group Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band is modeled after? Ever wonder why The Max Weinberg Seven is named that way?
