In all serousness, we would have been better off had Wakeman become a classical pianist, and Jon Anderson not ever gotten behind a microphone.
Jan Wenner remains a pillow biter...

Now that's a hard core opinion! But I'm gonna have to disagree with you, there. I'm not even really sure if Rush belongs in a true hall of fame. They've had a very long career, to be sure, with many, many albums. But they probably never had a top 100 song--maaaaaybe Tom Sawyer. They probably never got played on any format besides rock. I bet when people vote on the best rock songs of all time, there are no Rush songs. Geddy Lee is beyond just being a bad singer. Their early sound is very dated and cheesy. Their best period--Hemispheres to Moving Pictures--is somewhat sterile. And everything since is beyond sterile. It's completely antiseptic. So much for Rush.
Yes? They definitely have a handful of classic anthems--"I've Seen All Good People" and "Roundabout." But it wouldn't bother me if they were not inducted.
Thems fightin words, Clem!
