Of the 2014 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which have you purchased albums or songs? And which have you purchased the most?

Today's question inspired by this article on cnn.com - Nirvana, KISS, Linda Ronstadt among Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees by Jethro Mullen and this article on RollingStone.com - Nirvana, Kiss, E Street Lead Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2014 Class by Andy Greene.

I've purchased or d/l'd The Meters' untouchable first three albums too many times to count - completely original funk. Same goes for Link Wray compilations - that guy deserves free sandwiches for life just for "Rumble". After that it's a four-way tie (2 albums each) between Peter Gabriel, The Zombies, Deep Purple (MY FIRST TAPE EVER!!!), and Nirvana. I borrowed NWA, LL Cool J, and KISS (ALIVE!) tapes, but never owned. For a Yes sample, do try "Roundabout".

If I were to answer your question literally, I'd have to say I've purchased the E Street Band the most because Nirvana had a, you know, sudden unexpected halt to their record making back in the mid-90s.

That said, I just want to take this opportunity to say it's utter bullshit The Replacements didn't make it into the HOF. And I plan on holding a jukebox over my head playing their seminal album "Pleased To Meet Me" outside the induction ceremony in protest.

I think mine is a tie between Nirvana and Hall and Oates.
