Purple were never cool with journos or critics, unlike Zep they had no mystique to them, no Alistair Crowley fans and no fancy symbols. No drug scandals either except with Tommy Bolin, but by then Purple were regarded as unfashionable rock dinosaurs and Punk was looming.
I agree. One thing that really irks me at certain forums is when someone's favorite gets criticized and they respond by pointing out that the critic hasn't had hit records, made movies, been a sports star etc. It's defective logic. You either agree with a critic or you don't, simple as that.
Yeah, the Ramones may be the only non-charting artists to be inducted, and some people thought that may have been more because of Joey's death.I don't know if it's fair to say Dick started surf music, but he was certainly one of the early pioneers.

uriah heep really got slagged by the british press. one writer said he would commit suicide if the band made it. this quote was on the inner sleeve of an early album i had. can't remember which one. i remember really liking the wizard album, horrible lyrics and all.
