The Dave Clark Five

The Dave Clark Five was a rock band popular in the sixties. They were phenomenally successful, with numerous bestselling albums and hit singles. They are best known for their chart topper Over and Over. They were a part of the British Invasion led by The Beatles. When originally nominated for the actual Hall of Fame, they received enough votes to be inducted, but rap group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five was chosen instead. This caused controversy as many believe that rap is not a form of rock. The excuse given was that "some votes came late" and that they "could not go any longer without a rap act". Due to this controversy, the group was subsequently inducted the following year.
