If you try to find any write up about Foghat that did not describe them as a basic Blues Rock band it might be the first one ever written. In some circles in the 70’s it wasn’t considered cool to be a straight up Rock band, but to those who were into “uncool” music, Foghat delivered some pretty good material. It likely won’t be enough to get them into the Hall, but they have a pair of hits that looks like will live on long after this debate ends.

Although Foghat would be 5th on the above list, there should be an eventual place for them in the Hall.

  • 243. John Nord “The Berzerker”
    We actually have no problem admitting that we liked the “Berzerker” character.  John Nord had a lot of success in the AWA where he was essentially a disciple of the late Bruiser Brody, but it was as a demented Viking in the WWE that Nord would achieve his biggest fame.  He was big and athletic and delivered a series of…
