\nDespite being one of the biggest record- and ticket-selling artists of the ’70s, Ted Nugent has never even been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He’s been eligible as a solo artist since 2001 and as a member of the Amboy Dukes since 1993. “It’s crazy that Ted Nugent is not there,” Metallica’s James Hetfield told MTV in 2009. “That dude is about as rock ‘n’ roll as it gets.” The “Cat Scratch Fever” singer is pretty sure his outspoken political views are what’s kept him from being inducted. In a 2018 interview, he described the Rock Hall’s directors as an “ultra-leftist, liberal CEO-driven gang who couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the music.” (Wilkening)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
