Comments?? thoughts??

About time for KISS. Jeesh!

Donna Summer? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? She and her entire career are the antitheis of RnR.

And...No Rush, No Grand Funk...it's not RnR. Screw them.

Like ABBA is so RnR. I thought you had to be out of the game for 25 years before you could be inducted, or is that Cooperstown? I can never keep these hall of fames straight.

I do say that The Hollies, Kiss, and Genesis, are way overdue for induction.-

I still want to know where is Rush, Yes, Kansas, Heart, Grand Funk Railroad, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Chicago, Tommy James & The Shondells, Paul Revere & The Raiders just to name a few that are still missing.

What the heck L. L. Cool J. doing on that list is way beyond me.

[Jimmy Bones]

It's turning into the Pop HOF.

Not big fan of KISS but it's the only RnR band on that list

[cassanova]

What in the Hell is LL Cool J doing on that list? He's probably the farthest from RNR out of all of them. They should just change the name of it to the Music Hall of Fame since they are nominating and inducting people that have nothing to do with RNR.

[Richland123]

I am always at odds with some of their selections too. How can anybody rightfully say that Run-DMC, The Sex Pistols, Blondie, Patti Smith, are more musically talented and deserving to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame than any of these groups?

Here is a list of who is already inducted on this site.

Yup. The RRHoF is a joke . . . there are people there that are neither rock nor roll . . .

[Musiclogic]

It's the MTv Hall of average performances, and is dictated by the nobs at MTv Networks. What does MTv know about rock anyway, they haven't played any in 20 years.
