Sun Nov 23 2008I would think "Rock&Roll; in the JOE WALSH HALL of FAME" is best put? Just having turned 61 myself, my cuz couldn't care less about fame, he's thankfull for Health, Family, and the luck to be so loved. So "put that in your smoke and pipe it" - ED

Sun Mar 09 2008True, it may not quite be time for Joe's induction but consider that Walsh isn't even included on Rolling Stone's 2003 "100 Greatest Guitarits of All Time." That just ain't right.

Thu Jan 31 2008From his early hits with the James Gang through to his tenure with the Eagles - as well as a successful solo career, he should definitely be in there. Not to mention, one of the most under-rated guitarists ever.

Thu Feb 22 2007Has better credentials than Pete Townshend, but if Townshend doesn't (rightly) get a nod, Walsh won't either. (I'm from Montclair, NJ, his hometown, but I haven't let that influence me.)

Fri Sep 08 2006As a semi-original with the James Gang, they should make the HOF. They recently played the RRHOF in Cleveland. After John Kay this group crafted the biker sound of R&R;!

Thu Apr 27 2006Am I missing something, or is James Gang not on this list? would have given James Gang a 4.

Sun Dec 11 2005Joe Walsh is one of the greatest slide guitarists ever. He's played on countless other artist's albums as a guest due to his talents. There would have never have been a Hotel California without him. At least nothing like the one we know and love.

Fri Dec 02 2005Already in with the Eagles, and not exactly an earth-shattering solo career, even including the James Gang.

Tue Nov 01 2005I like Joe. His work with the helmet Cam is revolutionary.He is already gone to the Hall with the Eagles. Yes,life's been good to Joe.We could follow this thinking all night long.But,let's give someone else a chance. How about Ian Hunter? I think he knows Joe because Joe knows Ringo and Ringo is English and so is Ian.I know that Ringo knows Leon Russell,and he's from Oklahoma,and since Joe is from Kansas,they are neighbors.Small world,ya'know. Great band, Mott The Hoople.Ian also wrote the best song about ever about Clevland, Cleveland Rocks.Plus, his name is Ian.There's a lot going for Ian here and there are a lot of Brits named Ian but I've never met an American named Ian. Why is that? Oh sure, there's Janis Ian, but that don't count.Anyway she just may be Canadian, and they don't count either.I don't make the rules, that's just a fact.That's the Rocky Mountain Way. Ooops!

Wed Aug 31 2005A very underated musician. The Eagles were not really a super group until his addition. Hotel California is just another song without his guitar work. Great duo, him and Don Felder who they actually fired later on...why i dont know. Dumb move. I'd like to see him get in but I dont see it happening.

Wed Jul 13 2005Lifes Been Good is a cool song but overall JW made nothing innovative to warrant inclusion into the Hall Of Fame. His music is dated 70's dreck!

Tue Jul 12 2005My Dad is 77 years old and just now has gotten into Joe Walsh - my Dad said that Joe can play anything on the guitar and he thought Joe's facial expressions were funny when he plays. So, on behalf of my Dad, I'm giving Joe 5 stars.

Thu Apr 28 2005Walsh should be in based on the song, Life's Been Good To Me, So Far alone. Just tell him not to invite Don Henley to the induction ceremony and tell Walsh he can't sing Desperado at it! Hell might freeze over.

Sat Apr 09 2005Joe was a part of southern rock and has earned a place in my heart. The hall of fame is reserved for people like this

Tue Apr 05 2005He is more than deserving! Look at his contributions to music. He was innovative with the talk box and he is so talented. He has been sorely overlooked.
