In regard of what I did before, I'll be ranking the honorees from most to less important in induction years throughout history.

It would be based on the Hall's criteria: influence, innovation, impact, excellence & originality which is something I've done on several lists & ratings. Also this is for performers only, so side categories will be excluded.

Let's start shall we.

1986:

1.) Chuck Berry

2.) Elvis Presley

3.) James Brown

4.) Little Richard

5.) Ray Charles

6.) Sam Cooke

7.) Buddy Holly

8.) Fats Domino

9.) The Everly Brothers

10.) Jerry Lee Lewis

Starting the Hall inductions is these pioneers who changed the entire landscape of rock & roll & contemporary music due to it's spirit, evolution, attitude & diversity.

Chuck Berry is considered as a true King when he did it first out of everybody. All are very spectacular in their own right, yet someone has to be last & that's Jerry Lee Lewis.

1987:

1.) Aretha Franklin

2.) Muddy Waters

3.) Marvin Gaye

4.) Bo Diddley

5.) Smokey Robinson

6.) B.B. King

7.) Roy Orbison

8.) Jackie Wilson

9.) Carl Perkins

10.) Bill Haley

11.) Ricky Nelson

12.) Big Joe Turner

13.) Eddie Cochran

14.) The Coasters

15.) Clyde McPhatter

This second year feels a bit over bloated with fifteen selections, yet almost everyone here are very deserved due to sesmic shift they caused. Aretha Franklin is on top all due to being a first woman to ever be inducted.

Clyde McPhatter only got in as solo performer based on various reasons that has nothing to do with the criteria I pointed out.

1988:

1.) The Beatles

2.) Bob Dylan

3.) The Beach Boys

4.) The Supremes

5.) The Drifters

I couldn't find any words about the 3rd class, I mean it's one of top 3 most recognizable inductions in RRHOF history right behind the first year. All five artists definitely earned their honors for the same reason like those in 1986.

In the grand scheme, ranking The Fab Four at #1 doesn't need any further explanation given their career history as leaders & how they changed the world entirely. Others are also groundbreaking & revolutionary, yet somebody gonna be last place & it's The Drifters.

1989:

1.) The Rolling Stones

2.) Stevie Wonder

3.) Otis Redding

4.) The Temptations

5.) Dion

It's a close race between The Stones & Stevie Wonder with their extensive output of work being ahead of time, yet I'll be giving edge to the former since they truly shaped rock & roll as an artform quite like their contemporaries I mentioned previously.

Otis Redding & The Temptations have songs that stood out the most in current times while same couldn't be said for Dion.

1990:

1.) The Who

2.) The Kinks

3.) Simon & Garfunkel

4.) The Four Tops

5.) The Platters

6.) The Four Seasons

7.) Hank Ballard

8.) Bobby Darin

The Who & The Kinks are bands who inspired everybody to start their own groups while paved the way for punk rock & heavy metal scenes in the 70's.

As for others, mostly everybody are pretty solid except Bobby Darin who only had few hits under his name while his resume seems pretty mundane.

1991:

1.) The Byrds

2.) Ike & Tina Turner

3.) Wilson Pickett

4.) John Lee Hooker

5.) Jimmy Reed

6.) The Impressions

7.) Lavern Baker

Putting a band like The Byrds at top seems pretty accurate due to their lasting impact on the landscape of 60's rock scenes.

Lavern Baker had a great career who seemed worthy of recognition, yet couldn't find anything that's remotely worth mentioning.

1992:

1.) The Jimi Hendrix Experience

2.) Johnny Cash

3.) The Yardbirds

4.) The Isley Brothers

5.) Booker T. & The M.G's

6.) Sam & Dave

7.) Bobby "Blue" Bland

Jimi Hendrix & Johnny Cash, two respective artists who shaped the entire course of rock & roll with their albums & songs let alone their solid influence.

Bobby "Blue" Bland could've been easily inducted under one of the side categories considered that's he's overlooked nowadays.

1993:

1.) Sly & The Family Stone

2.) The Doors

3.) Van Morrison

4.) Etta James

5.) Cream

6.) Creedence Clearwater Revival

7.) Ruth Brown

8.) Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers

From Sly Stone to Ruth Brown, these artists truly served as inspirations for everyone's career paths in the field.

Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers may have songs that became touchstones in one fashion or another, yet it's like a case with Lavern Baker.

1994:

1.) Bob Marley

2.) John Lennon

3.) Elton John

4.) The Band

5.) The Grateful Dead

6.) Rod Stewart

7.) The Animals

8.) Duane Eddy

Bob Marley became the first reggae performer honored & his landmark on the genre is undeniably significant.

Ngl, Duane Eddy has influence on multiple guitarists past & present yet it's impossible to name songs by him on top of our heads.

1995:

1.) Led Zeppelin

2.) Neil Young

3.) Janis Joplin

4.) Al Green

5.) Frank Zappa

6.) The Allman Brothers Band

7.) Martha & The Vandellas

You can't go wrong with any selections here. I rank Led Zeppelin first since they changed music entirely since the golden days of those who came before them.

Martha & The Vandellas are in last, yet I stated you couldn't go wrong with any selections here.

1996:

1.) The Velvet Underground

2.) Pink Floyd

3.) David Bowie

4.) The Shirelles

5.) Jefferson Airplane

6.) Gladys Knight & The Pips

7.) Little Willie John

It's a tight race between The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd & David Bowie, all three put out landmark music that would transcend artists in several generations to come yet I'll give VU a spot since they proved popularity isn't the end all be all of everything.

I put Little Willie John in last place, sure he did have inspiration for other R&B yet his legacy was often overlooked given his career didn't last long.

1997:

1.) Joni Mitchell

2.) Parliament - Funkadelic

3.) The Bee Gees

4.) The Jackson 5

5.) Crosby, Stills & Nash

6.) Buffalo Springfield

7.) The (Young) Rascals

Now what do Joni Mitchell, P - Funk, The Bee & The Jackson 5 have something in common: They left an incredible mark on today's popular music with Mitchell having the most out of it.

Have no idea how The (Young) Rascals even got inducted since I couldn't find anything remarkable about their career.

1998:

1.) Fleetwood Mac

2.) Eagles

3.) Santana

4.) Gene Vincent

5.) The Mamas & The Papas

6.) Lloyd Price

I'll give Fleetwood Mac a top rank over Eagles & Santana since they evolved throughout their history & also end up released one of the biggest albums in the 70's.

Lloyd Price had a great career, however he's only known for two songs people cared about.

1999:

1.) Bruce Springsteen

2.) Curtis Mayfield

3.) Billy Joel

4.) Paul McCartney

5.) Dusty Springfield

6.) The Staple Singers

7.) Del Shannon

A stellar class with Springsteen, Mayfield, Joel, McCartney & Springfield being stone picks with The Boss being on top for his acclaimed work.

Del Shannon is one of the interesting cases, however he only had one remarkable song.

2000:

1.) Eric Clapton

2.) James Taylor

3.) Earth, Wind & Fire

4.) Bonnie Raitt

5.) The Moonglows

6.) The Lovin Spoonful

Nothing worth saying about this other than Eric Clapton being a first person to receive a third induction.

As for Lovin Spoonful, they might had hits & that's it.

2001:

1.) Michael Jackson

2.) Queen

3.) Aerosmith

4.) Steely Dan

5.) Paul Simon

6.) Solomon Burke

7.) The Flamingos

8.) Ritchie Valens

Having Michael Jackson alone makes this more historic with Queen following suit. Both definitely changed music since the golden days of The Beatles.

Ritchie Valens despite his short life & career managed to have a legacy that cannot be overstated yet that's about far as it goes.

2002:

1.) Ramones

2.) Talking Heads

3.) Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

4.) Isaac Hayes

5.) Brenda Lee

6.) Gene Pitney

No matter what popularity they achieved, Ramones & Talking Heads are bands who shaped their genres into something more major while having albums that made artforms & I'll give the former an edge for their attitude alone.

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything worth noting about Gene Pitney.

2003:

1.) The Clash

2.) The Police

3.) AC/DC

4.) Elvis Costello & The Attractions

5.) The Righteous Brothers

Artists/bands including The Clash, Elvis Costello, AC/DC & The Police made their work being celebrated for it's true significance with Joe Strummer, Mick Jones & company having most influence.

Righteous Brothers certainly made tunes for everyone, whether they truly changed rock & roll is another story.

2004:

1.) Prince

2.) ZZ Top

3.) George Harrison

4.) Bob Seger

5.) Jackson Browne

6.) Traffic

7.) The Dells

80's superstar Prince became one of the artists who defined the MTV generation. The way he did it was something that couldn't be replicated.

I really couldn't make a case for The Dells, nothing against them though.

2005:

1.) U2

2.) The Pretenders

3.) Buddy Guy

4.) The O'Jays

5.) Percy Sledge

Well U2 stands out the most, their music speaks to modern generations & sonic landscape is just insane.

Percy Sledge got inducted for something absolutely ridiculous.

2006:

1.) Miles Davis

2.) Black Sabbath

3.) Sex Pistols

4.) Lynyrd Skynyrd

5.) Blondie

I'll put Miles Davis over the four for predating R&R prior to the 50's.

All five have potential no matter what quantity they had.

2007:

1.) R.E.M

2.) Patti Smith

3.) Van Halen

4.) Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five

5.) The Ronettes

Along with U2, fellow stalwarts R.E.M made the alternative rock scene more remarkable by taking the genre into mainstream heights.

The Ronettes were impactful in some ways, yet doesn't have long lasting effects.

2008:

1.) Madonna

2.) Leonard Cohen

3.) John Mellencamp

4.) The Ventures

5.) The Dave Clark Five

Madonna over four others? Well certainly. She made the 80's so much memorable with her constant innovations.

Hitmakers The Dave Clark Five was the second biggest band of British Invasion in terms of popularity, however that's an only thing general public knows about them these days.

2009:

1.) Run - DMC

2.) Metallica

3.) Bobby Womack

4.) Little Anthony & The Imperials

5.) Jeff Beck

Run DMC or Metallica? Both groups made their sound, yet Run - DMC pushed the boundaries even further.

There's no doubt Jeff Beck is among the most important guitarists, yet this is about his solo work & it's a hit or miss in most cases.

2010:

1.) The Stooges

2.) ABBA

3.) Genesis

4.) Jimmy Cliff

5.) The Hollies

Proto - punk legends The Stooges lack popularity yet gained prominence for their sheer influence on the genre.

I mean what did The Hollies do that's considered lasting remembrance.

2011:

1.) Tom Waits

2.) Alice Cooper

3.) Neil Diamond

4.) Dr. John

5.) Darlene Love

Ngl, Tom Waits pretty much is the only artist who has tremendous credentials.

The rest is somewhat a hit or miss, Darlene Love? I couldn't finger around her honor.

2012:

1.) Beastie Boys

2.) GNR

3.) RHCP

4.) Donovan

5.) The Small Faces/Faces

6.) Laura Nyro

There's no denying Beastie Boys have mixed punk & hip hop into sound thus made them household names.

Honestly, Laura Nyro should've been honored under Musical Excellence.

2013:

1.) Public Enemy

2.) Donna Summer

3.) Albert King

4.) Rush

5.) Randy Newman

6.) Heart

Yep, Public Enemy takes over for being a group who revolutionized hip hop as an entity. I couldn't think any act who pushed boundaries for a genre quite like them.

I can see Heart has inspiration on certain bands & artists, yet they didn't completely changed the course of music.

2014:

1.) Nirvana

2.) Peter Gabriel

3.) Linda Ronstadt

4.) Kiss

5.) Hall & Oates

6.) Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam)

Nirvana earned this rank for bringing grunge into the forefront along with other bands in the 90's.

Cat/Yusuf is among the singer - songwriters who made timeless tunes that people remember, yet his overall impact remains 50/50.

2015:

1.) Green Day

2.) Lou Reed

3.) SRV & Double Trouble

4.) Bill Withers

5.) Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

6.) The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

Not a fan of Green Day, although I have to give them a nod for bringing punk into more mainstream heights with their albums taking over pop charts.

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band made music for the early ages, however time will tell if they extend beyond it. It's not gonna change anytime soon.

2016:

1.) N.W.A

2.) Deep Purple

3.) Cheap Trick

4.) Chicago

5.) Steve Miller

Even with only one remarkable album, N.W.A's impact on music & pop culture remains at large. Other four? Not so much!

Although I'll give credit for Deep Purple & Cheap Trick since they served as inspirations for countless bands & artists in several genres including hard rock, heavy metal & alternative music. Couldn't be said for Chicago & Steve Miller (Band) especially the latter since he doesn't want to be part of it.

2017:

1.) Tupac Shakur

2.) Pearl Jam

3.) Joan Baez

4.) Yes

5.) Electric Light Orchestra

6.) Journey

Tupac Shakur was an artist who's impressive legacy on music in general couldn't be overstated. Pearl Jam followed suit as well.

Sure Journey made tunes that are very well played everywhere, yet doesn't change anything about their lack of said criteria.

2018:

1.) Nina Simone

2.) The Cars

3.) Dire Straits

4.) The Moody Blues

5.) Bon Jovi

RRHOF 2018 inductions proved that classic rock has officially taken over & that doesn't mean it's great or bad. So I'll give Nina Simone a #1 rank over four rock bands for solid work that transcend movements.

Bon Jovi has the exact same case as Journey yet they are currently seen as a joke.

2019:

1.) Radiohead

2.) Janet Jackson

3.) The Cure

4.) Roxy Music

5.) Def Leppard

6.) The Zombies

7.) Stevie Nicks

Artists including Radiohead, Janet Jackson, The Cure & Roxy Music made timeless work that definitely spoke to everybody in the business with RH being the most acclaimed of all.

Stevie Nicks should've only been inducted once. Yeah she has influence, however most of it has to do with Fleetwood Mac & this is her solo career which isn't that remarkable to begin.

2020:

1.) Nine Inch Nails

2.) The Notorious B.I.G

3.) Whitney Houston

4.) Depeche Mode

5.) T. Rex

6.) The Doobie Brothers

Those ranked from 1 - 5 here are performers whose immense significance on music is very spectacular despite their respective genres.

The Doobie Brothers proved that even classic rock inductions seem to be overboard.

2021:

1.) Jay - Z

2.) Tina Turner

3.) Foo Fighters

4.) The Go - Go's

5.) Carole King

6.) Todd Rundgren

Jay - Z is an definition of true excellence in modern music. A businessman who made a difference to everything in the industry.

Todd Rundgren had a great career very worthy of recognition, yet he only had two remarkable albums under his belt & he's more well known behind the scenes.

2022:

1.) Eminem

2.) Dolly Parton

3.) Duran Duran

4.) Eurythmics

5.) Pat Benatar

6.) Lionel Richie

7.) Carly Simon

Whether you like him or not, Eminem's solid discography changed the game & made him among the most important figures in history of pop culture.

Pat Benatar, Lionel Richie & Carly Simon while having songs people listen to didn't have any historic shift that makes a Hall of Famer.

2023:

1.) Kate Bush

2.) Willie Nelson

3.) Missy Elliott

4.) Rage Against the Machine

5.) George Michael

6.) The Spinners

7.) Sheryl Crow

The inclusion of Kate Bush proves that any underground artist can make an solid mark on music as a whole.

As for Sheryl Crow, she has connections yet none of her work seems earth shattering.

2024:

1.) A Tribe Called Quest

2.) Mary J. Blige

3.) Kool & The Gang

4.) Ozzy Osbourne

5.) Cher

6.) Dave Matthews Band

7.) Peter Frampton

8.) Foreigner

Tribe & Blige are the only ones whose music can be seen everywhere at anytime, I mean lots of today's artists cited them for their careers getting a start.

I have nothing against Cher, DMB, Peter Frampton & Foreigner, sure they have large sales & fanbases however they're not The Beatles in terms of seismic shift being caused in history. I mean can you name any albums that spawned mass generations.

Very accurate rankings I did. Took a lot of work though!

The ultimate humiliation

I think the 3 main artists that should be added are

The smiths,Frank Sinatra and Weird Al

Today I'll be ranking the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees in several group tiers, for this I'll be putting inductees as performers in groups of tiers based on the Hall's criteria: influence, innovation, impact & originality. I'll also be based on # ratings I did on inductees earlier.

Ngl, you can't go wrong with these artists. They certainly made their impact more remarkable than ever, even though it's almost 100% there. I'll take them any day of the week.

Fourth: Best of the Rest & Solid Choices

145. ABBA

146. Martha & The Vandellas

147. George Harrison

171. Foo Fighters

172. Gladys Knight & The Pips

173. Randy Newman

174. Linda Ronstadt

175. Duran Duran

176. Clyde McPhatter

Pretty much everyone is safe. Their influence can be heard in most today's music, yet it's often overlooked as it's well-known.

Fifth: Sure Picks & Decent Artists

177. Joan Baez

178. Alice Cooper

179. Jackson Browne

180. Solomon Burke

181. Isaac Hayes

182. The Go - Go's

183. Hall & Oates

184. Kiss

185. Rage Against the Machine

186. Ozzy Osbourne

187. John Mellencamp

188. The Cars

189. Yes

190. Heart

191. Little Willie John

192. Carole King

193. Neil Diamond

194. Bonnie Raitt

195. Cheap Trick

196. Todd Rundgren

197. The Four Seasons

198. Donovan

199. Buffalo Springfield

200. Traffic

201. George Michael

202. The Spinners

203. Kool & The Gang

204. Bobby Womack

205. Bill Withers

206. Little Anthony & The Imperials

207. Duane Eddy

208. Brenda Lee

Honestly, I have no problem with any of the selections here. They sure have albums & songs general public knows, however the impact they had pretty much lands in most contemporaries than everyone else.

Sixth: Above Average

209. Righteous Brothers

210. The Small Faces/Faces

211. Def Leppard

212. Jeff Beck

213. The Mamas & The Papas

214. Chicago

215. The Flamingos

216. The Doobie Brothers

217. The Ventures

They're almost close to the borderline scale. Very worthy picks, it's just they're not completely remarkable. Still not lackluster!

Seventh: Borderline

218. Cher

219. The Moody Blues

220. Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers

221. The Moonglows

222. Pat Benatar

223. The Dave Clark Five

224. Dire Straits

225. Lavern Baker

226. Del Shannon

227. The Zombies

228. Jimmy Cliff

229. Ritchie Valens

230. The Dells

231. Electric Light Orchestra

232. Dave Matthews Band

233. Lionel Richie

234. Carly Simon

235. Sheryl Crow

236. Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam)

237. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

Couldn't find anything groundbreaking & revolutionary about them other than a few things. They had great careers, yet their overall resume seems pretty mundane.

Eighth: Inductees who didn't change anything.

238. Bobby Darin

239. Lloyd Price

240. The (Young) Rascals

241. Gene Pitney

242. Peter Frampton

243. Dr. John

244. Bon Jovi

245. Journey

246. The 'Lovin Spoonful

247. Foreigner

Sure they're very popular in one fashion or another, though it doesn't indicate they changed the whole development of music.

Ninth: Artists who shouldn't been inducted

248. Laura Nyro

249. The Hollies

250. Steve Miller

251. Stevie Nicks

Fact that artists like them were honored due to various reasons that has nothing to do with the criteria seems pretty odd. There's definitely others who would've taken their place given the credentials.

Tenth: Forgotten Honorees

253. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

254. Darlene Love

255. Percy Sledge

In the grand scheme of things, the ones being placed last are rarely mentioned in discussions of rock & roll history. They have moments in the sun, however only time will & it won't change anytime soon. And the fact they're inducted out of nowhere proves that some people could get it based on participation & sentimentality rather than true impact & real significance.

In addition, I'll be giving a nod to artists who were nominated as performers yet ended up getting backdoored. So here's it is.

Kraftwerk & LL Cool J: Tier 3

MC5, Judas Priest & Chaka Khan: Tier 4

Dionne Warwick: Tier 6

Well that's the end of the rankings, dang that took a long while!

I'm back with ratings, this time I'll be focusing on eligible artists & biggest snubs. As already stated, it would be based on the Hall's criteria: influence, innovation, impact & originality.

Ratings:

100/100 = Pioneers & Leaders

95/100 = Legends & Icons

90/100 = All Time Greats

85/100 = No Brainers

80/100 = Proven Performers

75/100 = Best of the Rest

70/100 = Solid Choices

65/100 = Sure Picks

60/100 = Decent Artists

55/100 = Above Average

50/100 = Borderline

45/100 = Below Average

I was wondering recently what the consensus is concerning Nancy Sinatras chance for induction. She had some huge hits during her prime, has name recognition, but lacks critical acclaim or much influence. Any thoughts?

Since 2025 is around what are everyone predictions who will be induced here is my list

All American rejectes Sum41 Pink Linkin Park Gorillaz Disturbed

I saw someone else post a rock hall wish list and it was very rock purest and boring (and also mildly infuriating) so here's mine:

Outkast, Beck, Smashing Pumpkins, Wu Tang Clan, Salt N Pepper, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, The B52s, The Smiths, Joy Division/New Order, Warren Zevon, Replacements, HuSker Du, TLC, Sinead O’Conner, Pixies, Liz Phair, Carpenters, Mariah Carey, Dinna Ross (Solo), Cyndi Laurper, Barry Manilow, Iron Maiden, Snoop Dogg, Lesley Gore, Oasis, Jane's Addiction, No Doubt, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morisett, Gloria Estefan (or miami sound machine), Daft Punk, Soundgaren, Fela Kuti, The Meters, Barbra Strisand, The Bar Keys, Ohio Players, Mimi Riperton,  Elliot Smith, Indigo Girls, Tommy James, Sioucsie & the Banshees, Bjork, DEVO, Roberta Flack, Lauryn Hill, Grace Jones, Sonic Youth, Violent Femmes, Herrbie Hancock, Sleeter Kenny, Jeff Buckly, Pet Shop Boys, Patti Labell, Chic, Weird Al, 

If your confused by anyone here let me know and id be happy to lay out my case!

Here's who I think the next side category honorees will be in 2025:

Frank Sinatra, John Coltrane, New York Dolls, Devo, Fela Kuti, Carol Kaye, Estelle Axton & Ed Sullivan

Well it's very possible that it can be the case given we're at 40 years of induction ceremonies.

I know he is not the most Rock n Roll name out there and he didn’t like Rock n Roll but he did made a impact on Rock music and the Rock era

1.He pretty much invented the modern day album or LP

2.He helped with the desegregation of popular music

3.A lot of Rock and Pop singers have been heavily influenced by Sinatra and he pretty much invented how Rock and Pop singers have signed for the past half a century

4.He was one of the first big stars of the music of youth culture and the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame have repeatedly said that the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is always here to honor the music of youth culture

5.He pioneered the idea of a “frontman”

Those are just a few reasons why Sinatra is deserving of this honor

It's certain that not everybody would get considered for induction, heck even some who are inducted shouldn't be since they don't have enough credentials.

So today I'll be looking at artists who won't be in the RRHOF due to various reasons.

1. Ted Nugent: The Madman would most likely be forgotten by everyone in the long run. Sure he's a phenomenal guitarist yet it doesn't change the fact he's more well known for his remarks about subject issues than his own music. Not to mention, he never accomplished anything historically. With said, he definitely won't be nominated let alone inducted.

2. David Cassidy: I literally don't get the outcry of this performer. Sure he may have a lot of popularity, yet I don't recall his work that transcend generations of artists. He definitely won't be a mention to the committee.

3. The Osmonds: If the Hall only focus on sales, the chances for The Osmonds would be higher since they're among the biggest selling of all time otherwise never would be the case.

4. Milli Vanilli: Even if they lip synced or not, Milli Vanilli doesn't have enough sesmic impact on music to earn an induction despite achieving popularity during their existence.

5. REO Speedwagon: They were enjoyable yet lacked the criteria needed for the honor. Popular yet never made any difference during their primetime.

6. Kid Rock: See Ted Nugent.

7. Twisted Sister: Only known for two songs, the hair metal guys never got any significance outside of those hits. Their recognition wouldn't happen due to that.

8. Eddie Money: Remove him from history & it won't make a difference. Eddie Money had numerous hits yes, however he doesn't have what it takes to be a True Hall of Famer.

9. Nickelback: They were more hated than loved while they failed to make history. Not HOF material.

10. Styx: Just because they achieve one thing doesn't translate into induction. Styx were just there like everyone else: Performing & Selling.

Well, unfortunately the ones on here would be remembered as footnotes altogether. Not against them, just reality!
