	23/81. Holy smokes, I thought I knew country music pretty well, too! This one is great, I'll be working on it for awhile.

	MovieDynamic:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT		7 points
	Thanks to "Family Guy" for Conway Twitty. LOL!!!

	springmom:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 04:53 GMT		6 points
	You left off one of the greatest singers of country music - Marty Robbins. He was inducted in 1982, the same year he passed away. http://www.countrymusichalloffame.com/site/inductees.aspx?cid=161

	tcalleen:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 04:54 GMT		2 points
	I'm actually kind of surprised who isn't in the hall of fame. A lot of the big names from the 70s and 80s aren't here.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 05:02 GMT		-1 points
	@tcalleen - The ones from the 70s and 80s will probably be inducted in future years. It seems most of their focus has been on getting the old-timers in.

	melissa:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 05:09 GMT		2 points
	Tried typing in "Judd" (as in Naomi et al) and got a freebie with Grandpa Jones - wonder if others did the same, given the high % guessing him? I've never heard of Grandpa (apologies in advance to country aficionados if that's shockingly ignorant)

	Calftail:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 05:27 GMT		3 points
	Marty Robbins was, indeed, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1982...just two months before his death. Springmom, you're correct in saying that he is one of country's all time greats...prolific songwriter as well as unparalleled singer! There are others missing from the list as well...thus causing the game to receive a low score from this loyal Sporcle player.

	tcalleen:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 05:33 GMT		2 points
	I got Grandpa Jones when I typed in "and" for Anderson (@Melissa - Grandpa Jones was on Hee Haw. He was in the same generation of performers as Minnie Pearl.) Also, the last name is sufficient for all of the brothers except the Statler Brothers. For them, you have to type in "Statler Brothers". And springmom is correct - Marty Robbins should be included on this list. Cool quiz! (even though I think they've missed inducting some big ones!)

	Dodge:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 05:33 GMT		0 points
	@melissa - I did the same thing. :) Never heard of Grandpa Jones either, to be honest. I really need to listen to some more of the classics.

	sammyhain2364:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 05:42 GMT		3 points
	Ronnie Milsap seems to be the biggest head scratcher to me for those yet to be inducted.

	Dodge:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 05:44 GMT		0 points
	@sammy - Yep. I was shocked when that one didn't come up. Milsap rocked!

	well i knew 4 - Parton, Elvis, Nelson, Cash...Having never listened to country music ever I then just guessed Regular names since I had a ton of time - got 17 that way lol

	I got Grandpa Jones as a freebie when I typed in "the" ... I don't know what the deal is with that.

	ArtVandaley:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 11:50 GMT		5 points
	I got Grandpa Jones when I typed in Jones, for the Great George "no show" Jones. Surely this is the most common way to mistakenly get Grandpa???

	Freddie:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 11:54 GMT		2 points
	@Art: Yes for most country fans Grandpa Jones was probably got that way, seeing as George Jones is, arguably, one of the all time greats in Country. But, there does seem to be some glitches where he is got other ways. Also, Jones is often preceded by Smith in the 'guess a random surname in desperation'!!!

	Etheridge2:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 13:53 GMT		1 point
	I got grandpa jones for typing in jones for george jones, I am shocked that VG and GS are in but Garth Brooks is not??? also I typed in Rose and got nothing and both Fred Rose (one of the original inductees and a prolific song writer) and Wesley Rose are in the CMHoF..oops just read up top I guess Wesley wouldn't be listed, but Fred is or was an entertainer as well as an executive or so I thought???

	Etheridge2:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 13:54 GMT		8 points
	Oh and HOW THE !@?* is KENNY ROGERS NOT INDUCTED!!!!

	mister_pianoman:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 14:47 GMT		0 points
	Garth Brooks is prolly too recent to be inducted. Did anyone else get The Duke of Paducah typing in Ford?

	Freddie:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 15:48 GMT		3 points
	@Jeremy: Fred Rose was primarily an executive, though he did a lot of songwriting particularly with Hank Williams. Fred Rose isn't really considered an entertainer, he's very much the epitome of an executive (a great one at that).

	Statto2:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 21:21 GMT		2 points
	I didn't think to try Elvis or the Everly Brothers. To me they seem more country-influenced than country.

	mschessplayer:	Apr 10th, 2009 at 01:30 GMT		2 points
	Thanks to the 70's tv show HEE HAW for the 25 I got. That's where I first saw GrandpaJones, Minnie Pearl, etc.

	shani3:	Apr 10th, 2009 at 02:37 GMT		5 points
	I can't believe Hank Williams Jr isn't in yet!

	rabbit:	Apr 10th, 2009 at 07:25 GMT		6 points
	I CAN NOT believe that ralph stanley is not included here. I'm sad.

	y2jdilemma:	Apr 10th, 2009 at 12:21 GMT		-1 points
	I dont listen to country music at all, so only got 15, thought Id get more than that with Charlie Rich, John Denver or some "big names". Guess not.

	Statto2:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 11:09 GMT		2 points
	@y2jdilemma - I think hardcore country purists regard Denver as a folk singer who switched to country for commercial reasons.

	newenglander:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 16:20 GMT		1 point
	im surprised garth brooks wasnt there.

	Etheridge2:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 19:43 GMT		5 points
	I wonder how long you have to wait before being inducted..I didn't realize Vince Gill had been around that much longer then Garth and I guess Rose is an executive, but why isn't kenny rogers in???

	kea718:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 21:47 GMT		1 point
	This was MUCH harder then I expected. But I'm not much of a country music aficionado.

	cmkeller:	Sep 3rd, 2009 at 18:40 GMT		2 points
	How is Kenny Rogers not there?

	beercanchuck:	May 9th, 2010 at 13:16 GMT		0 points
	I kept looking at the answers wondering how did I miss.... Great quiz.

	andy_edkins:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 22:27 GMT		1 point
	I took a stab at Billy Ray Cyrus. You know, just in case.

	Ibarez:	Jul 17th, 2011 at 06:49 GMT		1 point
	I'm amazed. I hate country music but still got 36/86. Can't beleive I didn't think of Johnny Cash. I also think John Denver needs to be inducted. I know he's crossover but he is one of the few "country" singers I can actually listen to without going insane.

	hubbjm:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 15:11 GMT		0 points
	I was surprised Poole (who had the first successful country single) and Rich (who had the most successful country album ever) were both not inducted.

	Razorblade:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 19:53 GMT		2 points
	Not inducted yet are Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, Johnny Paycheck or Gram Parsons but Vince Gill and Alabama are??? That's not just strange it's a big mistake by the jury in CHF.

	to get into the hall you have to be in the industry 25 years. every year a group is chosen then the top choices from that group are put into the h.o.f
