Rock Hall Snubs: Ozzy Osbourne
Steppenwolf- John Kay
Mainstream rock fans would vote Steppenwolf into the Rock Hall easily if only for pretty much single-handedly putting hard rock and its term "heavy metal thunder" onto American Top 40 radio with "Born to Be Wild". Lead singer John Kay is my guest In the Studio.
