I'd probably trade one of those in for King Crimson, but that's a damn fine list.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

I forgot they weren't already in. Because they already should be.

But yes, them too. As far as I'm concerned, no newer bands should be inducted until they go back to put those in who should already be there.

I'll be so pissed if Nirvana make it in up in 2014 and none of these even make it on the ballot, let alone get inducted.

But you know it's gonna happen.

There's no way that Nirvana aren't making it in the moment they're eligible. Sorry, but it's true.

Nirvana will be put in. It's inevitable.

Nirvana before the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., or the Meat Puppets would be a sad injustice. But yeah, I can see it happening.

They really need someone else to cast the nominations. As much as I respect Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, they really need to be the LAST hip hop groups put in. Grandmaster Flash, while important, I was willing to let slide, but there are people who really deserve the nod that haven't gotten it yet.

I don't think ANY rap artists should be in, or Madonna for that matter. This is the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, not the Popular Music HOF.

Agreed, they should either rename the Hall Of Fame or make a separate one for stuff that isn't Rock.

In fact, they should make tons of different ones. Jazz Hall Of Fame, Funk Hall Of Fame, Hip-Hop Hall Of Fame... would be beautiful. :swoon:

Well, that's just it, Run DMC and Beastie Boys were actually important to both genres. But beyond them, there aren't any that are important to rock. So I really hope they don't do that to increase ticket sales or whatever.

I'm sure Rush would be enough for that. They are really popular with younger audiences these days.

I mean, I'm fine with Prince being in there, since his stuff is rooted in rock n' roll, along with funk, jazz, new wave and pretty much everything else, and MJ, since he helped to bridge a lot of gaps in music. Hell, the rap artists that are in now are fine too since they did the same.

But I'll be damned if Tupac gets in.

This is what I mean, Tupac didn't contribute anything to rock n roll. To see him get in at all before the likes of Marc Bolan is beyond insulting.

Where is Bowie? He should be on this counsel, he knows his music and he knows who deserves induction.

If Bowie got in, Pixies would make it in ASAP.

Which isn't a bad thing. While there's a handful of other artists that should've made it in the moment they were eligible before them, I'd much rather see them in before Nirvana.

The rule is 25 years after your first album, so Primus aren't qualified yet. Fishbone haven't made it in either.

No. Fishbone would have been eligible in 2010, but Primus has a couple of years to go since it's 25 years from your first release where you're eligible.

Oh wait if Nirvana gets in, does that mean only the main three will get in? That would be a real insult.
