I only care that Iron Maiden gets in. And why in the hell has Styx never been inducted. No group in history has had 4 straight double platinum albums - not the Beatles, Stones, Zep, Aerosmith, nada, no group.
I've only checked LZ and Aerosmith, and they both did better than 4 double platinums in a row.
LZ did it for all 8 of their studio albums
and Aerosmith did it twice (the first 5 albums and the first four after they got clean)
Maybe Styx did it in a certain time frame (for example, the first Aerosmith album didn't start selling well until the Toys and Rocks came out) or some other wording of the bit of trivia that makes them special, but it's certainly not true that they are the only band to go double platinum 4 albums in a row.
Thanks, dead0. Maybe I was thinking they were the first to do it. Either way, it's a small club and they belong in the Hall.
