I don't think he caved as much as saw it as away to make more money.
also from wiki, and something I believe can be true.
Fans and supporters of several artists have placed a large amount of blame on Wenner for keeping them out of the Hall of Fame. They claim Wenner has lobbied to keep them from consideration and nomination to the Hall based on personal bias and a dislike for their music. One hit wonders have been elected to the Hall of Fame while bands with multiple decade of chart success (Styx, Foreigner, Boston, REO Speedwagon, etc.) remain excluded.
