Missing from the Country Music Hall of Fame (Updated 2021 Inductees)

The 2021 Country Hall inductees were announced today: Judds (Modern Era), Ray Charles (Veterans Era),  Peter Drake & Eddie Bayers (tie vote) (Musician).

The process to get into the Country Hall is explained here (as of 2012). In short: One act is chosen from 3 categories every year: Veterans Era (45 years after achieving "national prominence").  Modern Era (20 years after achieving "national prominence").   Non-Performer, Songwriter and Recording/Touring Musician categories rotate every 3 years. Also: candidates are not eligible for one year after they pass away.

Below are a list of artists, session musicians, songwriters, producers, etc., that have yet to be inducted as of 2021.
