Tom Waits
Waits? Didn’t he play Renfield in Coppola’s “Dracula” back in `92?
Once again, Rush, KISS and Journey get stiffed.
Jann Wenner is a complete jerk.
What concert venue is he performing at?
Where’s Matilda?
Dr. Leo Marvin: Are you married?
Bob Wiley: I’m divorced.
Dr. Leo Marvin: Would you like to talk about that?
Bob Wiley: There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don’t. My ex-wife loves him.
Dr. Leo Marvin: [pause] I see. So, what you’re saying is that even though you are an almost-paralyzed, multiphobic personality who is in a constant state of panic, your wife did not leave you, you left her because she... liked Neil Diamond?
(What About Bob)
Neil Diamond??? Seriously??? Have they run out of real Rock acts already?
Leon Russell — so much more than a pianist.
Alice Cooper Ping.
I’m so very very outraged that Barry didn’t get it. After all, you don’t need talent/experience to get recognized these days, right?
I'm probably going to have to cast my vote for Waits, who I don't believe has even a single album that has cracked the top-20, maybe even the top-50.
A shrine devoted, in the most part, to dead drug addicts and people who died choking on ham sandwiches, and, what’s worse, it’s in a city (Cleveland) that the entire industry will snub.
Those Rush costumes in the 70's were unforgivable. But Neil Diamond? Seriously? As in you tune in an Album Rock format radio station to crank up...Neil Diamond?
Waits is one of those guys who writes great songs that are much better when sung by someone else.

Alice Cooper, def. And btw - how does KISS deserve to get in before Alice Cooper??
It's criminal that Neil Diamond isn't in this bogus PC club.
FWIW, ZERO Rap ought to inducted - it's NOT "Rock" by any definition.
I think the fact that Vanilla Fudge isn’t in there is a crime.
This Rock Hall of Fame is nothing but shit.
Detroit should have got the site!
Well, you know what they say...
“Tom Waits for no one”
I can’t wait for Iggy Pop to get nominated for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Mrs. Miller to get posthumously nominated for a Blues Heritage award...
Chicago on the basis of their firsts 10 years should get in. They created great fusion of strings, keyboards, horns and vocals and were great. After Terry Kath died, not so much.
