Why Aren't The Neville Brothers In The RRHOF?

This Aaron Neville is the first article I've read on Neville that mentions the Neville Brothers' absence from the RRHOF. Most people forget that as a group the brothers didn't release their first album until 1978, which made them eligible in 2003. Aaron has been eligible a lot longer. To me they're a slam dunk, and you would think Hurricane Katrina would've jarred the memories of the laggards at the nominating committee. But remember this: Santana, James Taylor and Issac Hayes were eligible a few years before they nominated. And all three got in on the first ballot. The RRHOF and especially the ones responsible for nominees continue to miss important acts.
