Rock Hall nomination has eluded proto-metal pioneers Blue Cheer since they became eligible in 1994, and that seems to suit them just fine. “It's not anything that excites us. We'd be more interested in the Rock & Roll Hall of Infamy,” the late Dickie Peterson told Rock ’N’ Roll Universe in 2007. “If you want to make it a Hall of Fame type of band, that's up to somebody else, not up to us. If they think we're going to pay money and try to buy fame, they're wrong. Not to mention most of the guys who get in end up playing Atlantic City, Las Vegas, or they die. We're more interested in the gig tomorrow night than being in the Hall of Fame.” (Rolli)
