I am also one that never really took a liking to Rush, except Tom Saywer. I am more a Pink Floyd and Metallica guy.

Second look: Rush and Purple overshadowed those non-entities PE and NWA. Political and “gangsta” rap aroused such revulsion in me when I first heard it . . . and I confess it still does today, with the utter hatred, nihilism and racism in it; no redeeming qualities. Used to be a time when something as openly seditious as “By The Time I Get To Arizona” ever got recorded, the performer would end up in federal prison.

Is Frankie Avalon in it yet? If not, he oughta be the one handing the statuettes to these heroes anyway.

WELL IT’S ABOUT TIME!
They’ve only remained relevant since they came out in the mid-70s, taking rock and prog rock in particular to new heights, as well as directly inspiring all of the members of Dream Theater, as well as Geddy Lee inspiring Steve Harris of Iron Maiden.

Hell ya, thats what I am saying. If anything they were inovative and even if you disagree they had some bad ass tunes. Especially for us Rowdy Teenagers at the time.

Yes, and to be fair, Rush should be a first ballot inductee. Then Rolling Stone can finally put their absurd snubbing of Rush behind them...

LOL. The headline for this post made me think that Rush Limbaugh was public enemy among the rock hall of famers. You fooled me.

the list of nominees up for induction in 2013 is as eclectic as they come. "Eclectic" being used in this context as a synonym for "NOT Rock and Roll."
Rush. yes, Deep Purple without a doubt, Heart, no (yes, it's Rock but there are a lot more deserving Bands not in there who should go first.) The rest of these nominees are not Rock, not Rock 'n Roll, and most have never even so much as covered a Rock and/or Roll tune.
Fail, HOF, as usual.

Neil Peart, the octopus.
Great drummer.

Public Enemy definitely deserves to be in the Rock and Roll HOF. They changed the sound of the music, blending rap in with metal and introducing sampling to the masses for starters.
Their influence is still everywhere.

Rush didn’t have the same lineup as when they really got popular. Their first album was massive rock. I don’t think Neal Peart was on it.
“Working Man” is a great hard rock song.

Knowing next to nohing about rock and roll, I thought the same thing.
To: My Favorite Headache
Great for Rush finally!
But still they’ve inducted “celebrated rockers” Madonna and Abba but somehow have overlooked Grand Funk, Ten Years After, and Deep Purple. That pretty much says it all.

Damn, how did I miss DP finally getting a nod? Wow.
Now two tiny steps toward legitimacy.

I can’t stand Rush, but I think they deserve to get in, and soon.
