J Geils? No. I'm not going to explain why.
Flash? Yes. Not because he's awesome, but a pioneer.
Buddy Guy? Yes, because he's cited as huge influence by a lot of huge acts like Clapton, page, etc...
Skynrd? Absolutely. All you have to do is listen to "Second Helping" to understand why (and to the idiot who might post about how they're racist hicks, please READ the lyrics, then comment, moron)
Gram Parsons? Shouldn't get in. not enougb music, too much fawning over him just cause he died and hung out with Keith. Yeh, I know he did those cool country rock records, but none of it was earth-shattering.
Pistols/Stooges? Of course.
