Humble Pie did not borderline suck. I love them, and all their 20-minute live versions of "Walk on Gilded Splinters." As my early teens friends and I loved to quote from their Rockin' the Fillmore album, with our fake English accents, "We uh, we go home on Monday, and I'd really like to say we really had a gas this time, we really had a gas!"
Ha! Well, borderline is doing some work there, but obviously I don't feel them like you do. And being a bit younger, I guess, I didn't live them in the moment. But rest assured I did my due diligence and listened to all the Pie albums I could stream before voting. My main takeaway, and this isn't Frampton's fault, is that I do not care for Steve Marriotts singing, especially in this part of his career. I realize that is an outlier view. In any event, I appreciate you writing me, Steve, to call me on this and also to share your English accents story!
I can’t help thinking that you should be able to cast negative votes against nominees that you feel definitely shouldn’t be in a Hall of Fame. This would apply to the majority of the acts here. Just having made a few good records over the course of a career shouldn’t be enough to get you in you should have done something extraordinary.
