Op-Ed: Todd Rundgren snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020

In his place, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognized the following artists for induction: Whitney Houston, The Notorious B.I.G., Depeche Mode, T. Rex, Doobie Brothers, and Nine Inch Nails.

Rundgren has done more for rock and roll than the vast majority of the musical acts that were inducted this year. He is a living rock legend and had a profound influence on countless artists and bands that followed. This marked his second consecutive nomination for the Rock Hall.

This year, Rundgren will be touring as part of “The Individualist, A True Star” Tour, which is presented by SiriusXM. He will be playing a full side of his seminal studio album, A Wizard, A True Star, each night. On May 28, he will be performing at The Paramount in Huntington in New York.
