HALL of FAME, Ringo certainly has garnished some degree of fame. Bill Withers and Joan Jett compared to Ringo....enough said on the matter. Is it their repertoire of music, influence on music, or fame and notoriety? Hall of Fame inductees are becoming a stretch as the years go by! The MD Hall of Fame is solid even though no one has nominated anyone in months..and it is an All Music poll!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

Sure glad nobody dumped on
Joan Jett--she is way more important than a brilliant song or two, especially for her work behind the scenes. And as she has never conceded control of her career to anyone, especially no one testicular-enhanced, she is a feminist icon, a beacon to other women in or looking to get into any aspect of The Biz:
