I agree but all you have to do to understand what the Rock and Roll HOF is all about is go there. It has very little to do with music and everything to do with grifting suckers for the admission price for a tour of memorabilia that you could find at any Hard Rock Cafe.

A few miles away you can see Elvis’ Electra Glide in a Cleveland Harley dealership but you won’t find one in the HOF.

It’s a joke.

[Soul Seeker]

Madonna is a rocker huh. Guess in 20 years Britney Spears will be inducted?

[frankiep]

Seriously, how can they induct people like this and still call it the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Why not just make a Pop Hall of Fame and let these non-rockers into that?

Ping
RUSH definitely should be there among many others listed, Neil Peart and Geddy Lee are masters of their instruments and Alex Lifeson is definitely no slouch on guitar!

Without Sonic Youth, there may as well be no Hall of Fame.

[JennysCool]

I’ll go with the Ventures and the Dave Clark Five, easy.

[Thrownatbirth]

I’ll defend DC5. They were all over the US Top 40 charts with the Beatles and the Stones in the mid-60s. Not very artsy but they were a huge commercial success.

[mrs. a]

Rob Zombie is dissed again.

I have no respect for the Hall of Fame.

[Larry381]

Glad to see the Ronettes got in last year-in my misspent youth I went out with a girl in the early sixties named Veronica. A few months later she along with her sister and cousin formed the Ronettes. She was of course the future Ronnie Spector the lead singer of the group.

[caver]

They could just call it the Liberal Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s a joke the groups that have been purposefully overlooked.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Well, I have no doubt that KISS is routinely ignored by the Rock & Roll powers-that-be because Paul Stanley (real name-Stanley Harvey Eisen) and Gene Simmons (real name-Chaim Witz) are successful Jewish businessmen and family men, who've managed to stay away from drugs and keep out of trouble with the law. They also strongly support our troops. That's not kosher in Hollyweird these days, I guess.

[fredhead]

Afrika Bambaataa

WHO????

[fredhead]

Grand Funk Railroad

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

The Dave Clark Five and the Ventures aren’t already in? What a travesty the RORHOF is!

[UlmoLordOfWaters]

No Rush? Are they crazy?

[weegee]

It looks more like the RIAA-Grammy Hall Of Fame.

I blame Rolling Stoned which hasn’t known crap about music in forever and their fearless leader who sits on the Hall’s board.

[weegee]

Anti-Rock and Roll PING!

[ConservativeStatement]

I visited the Hall in 1997 (IIRC). It was very disappointing.
