It is way past time that we get Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame. Of the over 30 albums Buffett released, eight are certified gold and nine are certified platinum or multiplatinum.

James William Buffett (December 25, 1946 – September 1, 2023) was an American singer-songwriter,[10] musician, author, and businessman. He was best known for his tropical rock music, which often portrays a lifestyle described as "island escapism". Together with his Coral Reefer Band, Buffett recorded hit songs known as "The Big 8", which he played at every show:[11] "Margaritaville" (1977), which is ranked 234th on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of "Songs of the Century", "Come Monday" (1974), "Fins" (1979), "Volcano" (1979), "A Pirate Looks at Forty" (1974), "Cheeseburger in Paradise" (1978), "Why Don't We Get Drunk" (1973), and "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" (1977). His other popular songs include "Son of a Son of a Sailor" (1978), "One Particular Harbour" (1983), and "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" (2003).

Aside from his career in music, Buffett was also a bestselling author and was involved in two restaurant chains named after two of his best-known songs; he owned Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant chain and co-developed the now defunct Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant chain. Buffett was one of the world's richest musicians, with a net worth of $1 billion in 2023.[13] His devoted base of fans are known as "Parrotheads".
