(114 posts)1. I've been told that they've been nominated by the HoF committee.
And they will be put in, but not by fan vote.This is just like Warren Zevon this year, who got in via a musical influence award. LF is one of the best rock and roll bands of the 70s; and Waiting for Columbus is one of the best live recordings ever commercially released.

Had a friend that played with them in the studio for a while.
I still play this album quite often. I even like his covers of Hey Joe and Whiter Shade of Pale.
