[the mesiah]

The godfathers of gangsta rap and only 2.53..:facepalm :facepalm

[BurningHammer]

No arguments for Stevie Ray Vaughan and Kraftwerk, but NIN?

[L.Kizzle]

Green Day gets in?

I'm not a huge Rock head, but I thought NIN would have been in before Green Day. I've heard more music from them.

Also, no NWA?

[Real14]

Rakim gets no love:facepalm

[BurningHammer]

I don't think Hip Hop or Rap artists should be considered for R&R Hall of Fame. Many people don't understand or recognise some of these great artists. I mean Eric B & Rakim being snubbed? NWA only 2.53%
It would be better if Hip Hop had its own HOF

Hip Hop is fairly new, thats why so few are in the Hall so far. Hip Hopers just started to get nominated a few years ago as you need a 25 year history to even go nominated.

This is B and Rakim first year eligible. They should get in next year.

[JohnFreeman]

Oasis eligible in 2019 lol

[STATUTORY]

Green Day?! :facepalm

how da fuq u get in the HoF when u play 3 chords in every song?

[BasedTom]

What a ****ing joke

It's a good thing this Hall has no legitimacy, otherwise I might actually feel upset

[Patrick Chewing]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is so stupid. As if being inducted matters. Look at a band like Green Day. They've been around for over 20 years and have sold millions of albums. That right there should be put you in any Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame of Success.

[LJJ]

Ringo Starr got in this year. Not as a Beatle, the Beatles have been in since the beginning. Specifically Ringo Starr.

"Ringo Starr is one of the greatest and most creative drummers in rock and roll history."





That's all you ever need to know about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[L.Kizzle]

This show is pretty good tonight.

The Smiths :applause:
