Poco?

I got the below quote from the Lefsetz Letter, it wasn't written by Bob Lefsetz, though, but it neatly summarizes any forgotten band you can think of that is missing in the RRHOF. In this case,Poco, who some believe invented Country-Rock. Oh well. I've always liked Poco, and they are doing some reunion shows this year. But Hall material? No. The dissing of Madonna in the email is stupid, of course, but the sentiment if alright.

"Yet for all they have accomplished, this band still cannot seem to gain the attention and respect they deserve from either the public or some in the industry. Jan Wenner wants Madonna in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but not Poco? That’s why I stopped paying attention to the RRHOF a few years ago. But it still rankles that there is such an institution and Poco is not part of it and probably never will be."
