Judging by William Shatner's musical out-put, do you agree that he should be!
Question: Are you familiar with his classic readings of hits by Dylan, the Byrds, Beatles, Elton, Harry Chapin, or his classic epic album "Has Been"?

yes I vote for him. I love him since Star Trek and besides he is a talented and does it great.
heck no!
William Shatner would be booed off the stage in American Idol. I would hate to think what the judges would say about him.
Is it really "rock & roll" to merely read lyrics in his normal stop/pause/continue fashion? More like poetry (and I even have to use that term loosely).
Seeing as Willie-boy must have been on high on drugs when he recorded his version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" (once officially voted the worst Beatles cover of all time), I've reserved his place in The Crack & Coke Hall Of Fumes.

How can you put William Shatner in the Rock n' Roll HOF, when bands such as Rush, Moody Blues, Yes, Chicago, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and many others aren't in there yet?
Pat Boone crooned an album of hard rock songs does that make him HOF material, HELL NO.
Abso-freakin-lutely. The spin he puts on such classics just exemplifies your point, how he can take greatness and make something even better out of it. I even have a cover of him performing part of Color Me Badd's 'I Wanna Sex You Up' on my hard drive that makes me tingle with excitement. And the video for 'Rocket Man' is a work of mammoth proportions. All hail the undisputed Ayatollah of Rock'n' Rollah!!
If they do induct William Shatner into the Rock n Roll hall of fame it'll just prove that this "hall of fame" is nothing but a JOKE!
