Well Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, and Joe Cocker, should be in.

Also can anybody explain what a "Phish" is?

Have fun

Kind of a cult band on like The Grateful Dead or Jimmy Buffett.

Bad Company should have been in over 20 years ago. Not sure what is keeping them out.

That’s actually a pretty good crop. Even the ones I don’t like are an important part of rock history. The biggest shock is that Joe Cocker and Chubby Checker aren’t in yet. That’s insane.

And Phish is a pretty good jam band.

Idol’s work with Generation X was his best.

I don’t care what the R&R Hall of Fame thinks, but Soundgarden and Bad Company would get my vote.

Any band that had Paul Rodgers as a front man should be in someone’s Hall of Fame.
That dude could rock.
