Let me set the scene, it’s 8:00 pm on a Friday night and John Mellencamp is playing Emens Auditorium in Muncie, IN. The lights go down, tension begins to build, a buzzing in the room commences, and on comes a screen in which The Fugitive Kind begins playing. A bold choice that I think Mellencamp set up perfectly.

In case you didn’t know, recently The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released its 2024 nominees to be inducted this year. The list included: Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane’s Addiction, Kool & The Gang, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinead O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Sade, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Merriam-Webster defines a snub as treating something with contempt or neglect; keeping this definition close in mind, here are 3 rock artists who I think have been neglected, contempted, and well for that matter, snubbed, when regarding their lack of induction into the Rock Hall. In this article, I will try my best to convince you why rock icons such as Jim Croce, Poco, and Warren Zevon, deserve to find their rightful spot on the walls of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

For last year's annual Culture Shock music festival, I had the pleasure of talking to the members of The Skaaholics. The local Bloomington band is made up of five members; Omar Aguilera on keys, guitar, and accordion, Ray Sarmiento on drums, Angel Ochoa on guitar, Dany Inche on bass, and Kcun on vocals. They are a fusion band that combines elements of Ska, Rock, Reggae, Punk, Dub, Hip-Hop, and Latin rhythms.

In the past there has been a rise in artists, such as Machine Gun Kelly, Denzel Curry, and Taylor Swift, creating short or feature length films that correspond with their albums.
