Damn. A legendary drummer, Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones, passed away today at the age of 80. From London, England, Watts joined the Stones in 1963, and was with the group until he died. Considered one of the most versatile and proficient drummers of his era, or any other, Watts was the backbone of what can only be described as the greatest rock and roll band of all-time. No other description fits. The Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, their first year of eligibility. We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our…

The Everlys signed their first major contract in 1956, and a year later, they had their first major hit, with “Bye Bye Love”. Success continued for the pair, with “Wake Up Little Susie”, “All I Have to Do is Dream”, “Bird Dog”, “(Till) I Kissed You” and “Cathy’s Clown”. The Everly Brothers were part of the inaugural Rock…

Committee Chairman
When a major athlete retires from a major North American sports league, we always pay attention. As such, the retirement of Henrik Lundqvist is major to us, and worth a dissection of the Swedish legend’s career.

On Broadway, Lundqvist amasses a record of 459-310-96 and a 2.43 GAA and won the Vezina in 2012 with a GAA of 2.43. In addition to his Vezina, from 2006 to 2014, he finished in the top six for that hardware, and was…
