11 Music Stars from WA Not in Rock Hall of Fame but SHOULD Be

It's crazy how many incredible musicians came out of Washington State!

I've heard it said that it's because of the cold, wet, grey, and gloomy weather. Kids and adults of all ages had to grasp hobbies and interests that could keep them mentally sane while doing something productive.

Seattle's music scene came alive in the 50's & 60's

Crooner Bing Crosby catapulted the music scene in the 50s While Jimi Hendriks was all the rage in the 60's. In the 70's it was Heart and so many others to follow.

If you talk to people who lived on the West side of the state as late as the '70s, many will tell you that the weather has gotten considerably more desirable over the past decade or two.

Often in the 70s, the outside daily temperature didn't get over 60-70 degrees. No one had pools back then in the Seattle area. And if they did they went unused.

I lived in the Seattle area for almost three years and it got over 90 degrees more than a few times. That was unheard of in years past.

There was a time when it rained daily no matter what time of year it was. And most other times it was grey and gloomy.

For whatever reason people were inspired to start bands and play music I'm happy they did. Some of the best musicians came out of the West side of the state.

My question is why haven't any of these musicians been inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame!!
