This is from Blacksabbath.com

The current lineup of Black Sabbath is:

Ronnie James Dio - Vocals
Tony Iommi - Guitar
Geezer Butler - Bass
Vinny Appice - Drums
Scott Warren - Keyboards

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The history:

There have been many people in Black Sabbath over the 30+ years of the band's history. Some folks think the band died in 1979 when Ozzy was fired. That's too bad, because there's a lot of music that's extremely good in the intervening years of the band before Ozzy returned in the late 90's.

There were a total of 30 official members of Sabbath and 1 unofficial member. If Sabbth's official site recognizes these people as members of sabbath and prominently displays them, why is it ureasonable to ask the rock hall to do the same?

It's not that I don't recognise these people as members of Sabbath but 30 members is just unreasonable.
There are a lot of people I wouldn't include under any circumstances but if the hall had to include post-Ozzy members then a list like this would be appropriate:

Ozzy Osbourne
Tony Iommi
Geezer Butler
Bill Ward
Ronnie James Dio
Geff Nichoolls
Vinny Appice
Ian Gillan
Glenn Hughes
Eric Singer
Tony Martin
Cozy Powell
Neil Murray

I don't think Donato, Keel, Walker, Rondellini etc. necessary deserve a place. Not because of their musicianship but because they're not prominent members in the Sabbath history. Many of their members never even released anything with the band.
