    Here is a reason why not...no one has heard of them...

    Quoted from o-din:

    Ever heard of Metallica? Well they must have heard of them to cover not one, but two of Budgie's songs. What rock have you been living under?

    O-Din Yes actually I saw Metallica three times in the '80's in there prime and just about every other band from Pink Floyd to Soundgarden... Hendrix covered Bob Dylan that does not mean I want a Bob Dylan Pinball machine. If a Music Themed Machine is going to be successful it has to have a certain commercial following. We all would like a pinball machine after bands we like that are less played on the airwaves but to be something that sells you have to have songs that a certain part of the general public know. Sorry but BUDGIE is not a household name even for this old metal head.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Maybe not in West Virginia or other rural areas.

    Nice...but I did not grow up in WV or Rural more like a subway metro ride to RFK Stadium to see Monsters of Rock in 1987. Not trying to knock your band or even take cheap shots at where you live; but an influential band is a lot different from a popular band with a large catalogue of know songs. There have been lots of bands that have influenced Rock but don't get the credit they deserve.

    You asked orginally asked "Why not Budgie" I am just sharing the hard reality that there are MANY MANY great bands that deserve pins that have a wide range of recognition before a more obscure influential band. They just don't have the fan base that Hendrix, U2, Zeppelin , Floyd and many other bands that would make a pin sell.

    Quoted from Ed209:

    They would sell dozens of pins. Dozens!

    I think this is the most "meaning full" post in the thread...
