72. Brent Sutter

Typically, if you are considered the best hockey player in your family, it isn’t much of an accolade.  This was not the case for Brent Sutter, who may have been the most talented of what could be the most storied set of siblings in professional hockey.  The Sutters were known for their work ethic, and Brent was no exception. Brent Sutter was known for doing all the small intangibles that made a team successful, and yet he still achieved over 800 points in his career. He likely won’t get in, but should he slip in, it might be a celebration of the Sutter family as a whole.

It is difficult to argue that Fleetwood Mac should not be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but what of their breakout star, Stevie Nicks? Certainly she had a successful solo career and her look was copied enough, but it is also easy to counter that her best work was in the band that first made her a star.

89. The Cult

There are some bands that seem poised to break through the stratosphere but for whatever reason just can’t. The Cult seems to be one of those bands that while although they were very successful; they just seemed to fall short of what many thought they could have been.

For many, Linda Ronstadt was Rock and Roll’s first female solo superstar. Though many women achieved success on the Rock platform, Ronstadt was a megastar in the 70’s selling out millions of albums and rescuing classic songs from oblivion. Ronstadt was the first female Rock star that could sell out an arena and with a warm voice and a collection of songs with broad Rock and Country appeal she was easily the biggest female Rock star of the 70’s. Her later years saw her embrace other styles (with less commercial appeal) of music but it all went to prove her ability as a singer with unquestioned ability. Inducted in 2014
