This is an embarrassment. At least there's no "rap/hip hop musicians" this year, which is about the only good thing about it.

Actually this whole list is very dubious. Lou Reed MAYBE. The rest? Ummm no.

I dunno, it's from Rolling Stone... we should probably wait for confirmation before commenting.

If you click on the link, R.S. gets hits.

I cant begin to imagine a “hip hop” hall of fame.

Since rock and roll started dying around the 80’s and went belly up pretty quick with grunge they have to pick someone I guess.

Lou Reed, of course.

Everyone else on the list just proves what a joke the Rock Hall of Fame is.

NWA was nominated. So I guess one could claim the induction choices could've been worse.

On a broken record note....yet again, the Moody Blues weren't even nominated.

Joan Jett was a 1-hit wonder.

The R-and/or-roll HOF is a joke!

Saw Joan Jett in the 80’s.

Loved her music but, was a very conservative concert goer.

Was on the 3rd row, just sitting there and enjoying.

Everyone else was moving and dancing.

She stops, middle of the song, crosses her arms, looks me right in the eyes and shakes her hips.

I went nuts and was up and moving for the rest of the concert...

People from other bands (Velvet Underground, The Runaways, The Beatles).

How about first time inductees instead?

Roxy Music, King Crimson, XTC are all deserving.
