Is The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Officially Irrelevant? Robert Lamm Weighs In!

How does one of the biggest bands in history get treated like a footnote by the mainstream elites? Robert Lamm of Chicago joins Neeley and Chris to reveal the “least important” accomplishment in music—getting inducted into that joke of a Hall of Fame. Is the industry purposefully burying the harder, aggressive side of Chicago to push a “power ballad” narrative, or is there a deeper level of acrimony keeping the real history of this band hidden? Only CMS asks the questions that make the “suits” in New York sweat. Interview from 2008!
