Gram Parsons comments by moi

Gram was too much of an eclectic mixture to be construed as something as simple as one particular pigeonholed genre. That is his undoing when it comes to accolades. The music industry wants those they can easily define and market. Gram wasn't playing by their rules so he didn't get the push needed to be rounded and polished for whatever proposed stereotypical category they decided he should be a part of. In many ways it's a compliment to him he is largely ignored. Just take a look at who they let in the RRHOF. I do think if you are going to let people in any hall that relied upon Gram so much you have to give him his just do or send in the demolition team.
