The Rock & Roll HoF will *never* be complete unless and until they induct Chubby Checker and The Monkees.

Sure, Hank Ballard & The Midnighters created the Twist - by Chubby Checker told us how to do it and got us moving on the dance floor when R&R was falling into a depression (check out the number of teen death songs popular in 1959....).

And The Monkees basically created the modern music video - while having a bunch of chart-topping hits. So they didn't write their own songs.... Did Elvis?
