Well we know it was always a point of contention with Bob, not being inducted. AS WELL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. "We" who know the entire history of the band, know how important he was to the history. The FM that went on to sell millions and millions, that incarnation of the band, probably would have never seen the light of day, if it weren't for the 5 albums during the Welch years.
"Bob Welch saved Fleetwood Mac" - Mick Fleetwood
He sustained them during terrible times, really....DO YOU GUYS think they would have survived those years, without him? I mean maybe, but maybe not...
If not, none of us would have the fandom of the BIG lineup, and whatever impact FM's music has had on our lives. We wouldn't be HERE, that's for sure.
Keeping him out of RRHOF was downright criminal, IMO. And believe me, it breaks my heart to know that MY heroine of FM was the one who insisted on him not being inducted...
