The other half like giving blowjobs to overrated bands ala KISS and RHCP..Jimmy Cliff should be put in simply on his affect on our music culture especially during the ’70s.”The harder they come” ?? Hello!!BRILLIANT! Also RUSH and GENESIS both should be in there especially to promote the progressive rock movement-Now I say that only if YES or PinkFloyd or LedZeppelin are in already-but definitely RUSH!! Tom Sawyer??HEELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOO!!T hey took the idea of parts of an album to the next level! Without them you wouldn’t even have progressive rock internationally at all!!
Anyone who says that they don’t like RUSH-well then they don’t listen to music at all.Period. The Stooges??Hmm. well. I thought they were in any way..I mean i think to have Iggy Pop in there without them-is just dumb…That would just prove that this whole thing is a crock of shit-wouldn’t it??Thats like having Ian Mackaye nominated but not Fugazi!!Puh-lease..RedHotChill iPeppers??Jesus by the time they get to Fugazi, I’ll be 90 years old and in a senior home!! They need to up the amount of groups in there every year..Christ, the academy awards have TEN nominations for best picture..Oh and LL COOL J. Now thats a joke-you got to be kidding me-he puts out RAP ALBUMS..Who’s doing this list? SAM FREAKIN GOODY??
Who the hell is DARLENE LOVE???What, she's still alive thereby giving her cred???
COME ON!!!LAURA NYRO??? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE???
her is the list of the past inductees, some late-like Ritchie Valens, some on time like Prince and ZZTop..
