OOPS!! Wrong band...
Will the late cowbellist "Gene Frenkle" and Bruce Dickinson share in the award for their contribution to Don't Fear the Reaper?

Sounded like the nomination process was political.The whole process and the whole concept is political. Look at how long Rush was denied entry. And why.

I especially liked the material they put out in the 1980’s.Definitely. For my money, I think that Long Distance Voyager eclipses all of their previous work. It was...and still is...magnificent.

I am always bumfuzzled at how such organizations go about their selection/nominating process. So many very worthy folks/bands that have been overlooked for years - yet some of the yahoos (and not even “rock and roll) folks who have been welcomed in...
And of course there is a political element to this - just like with every other entertainment industry awards/recognition deal...

My favorite band in high school. My friends and I celebrated the release of each new album.

Some of these things are not like the others, some of these things just don’t belong...

LL Cool J? Seriously?

Kind of silly that Denny Laine will get in the hall of fame with the Moody Blues before he gets in with Wings, even though Wings had a lot more hits.
...
I don’t think Laine would be included. He didn’t have much influence on the Moody Blue’s best years.
These are the members listed on the website:
Graeme Edge, Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas
Ray Thomas was the founder of the band.

I don’t know if they, or some of them, are nominal Christians or have a real faith in Christ Jesus, but they did a wonderful job with “WHAT CHILD IS THIS?” I believe they recorded that in the early 70’s. John Lodge is an Evangelical Christian.

Burton Cummings stands tall amongst his peers.

Isn’t everyone now in the RRHOF?Funny, that's the exact same question I mused on the other day. My alternate thinking was that, if not, eventually everyone will be in it at some point.

Viewing the list, I would vote for Nina Simone, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, MC5, and maybe the Moody Blues. Moody Blues get in because of their fans, not because of critical acclaim. Kind of like Rush a few years ago.

RRHOF is a liberal organization that recognizes liberals.

In my view that list - alone - demonstrates the sheer stupidity of the whole idea of a RRHOF. Just randomness and petty personal politics. Pffft....
