6 Reasons Why Neil Diamond Should Be In The RRHOF

In honor of Davil Wild's book He Is...I Say, I give you the latest installment in my Why They Should Be In series. In my review of Wild's book, I laid out my reasons why Diamond isn't in the Hall. But here are 5 reasons he should be in:

1. The Bang era singles
2. Hot August Night
3. He wrote "I'm A Believer" and "Red Red Wine"
4. His underrated serious early/mid 70's singer-songwriter phase
5. His 2 Rick Rubin produced CD's
6. His stage shows (see #2)
