Good to see Janet Jackson on here. Her work in Rock and / or Roll has been highly influential.

Went to the hall of fame last year. It was stupid. I was expecting some kind of a shrine for all the inducted bands but nah, I couldn't even tell the difference between those that were actually inducted and those that just had some memorabilia there. Pretty sure these awards are just for a yearly display they put up to get people to come in and after that they're just another band.

I don't care what music they produced after the 80's but Def Leppard are one of a kind. "Pyromania" is one of the best albums in rock history.

The Zombies, MC5, Kraftwerk, The Cure & Rage Against the Machine deserve it for their immeasurable influence on rock and metal. Since they've already been inducting 1 rapper per year, LL Cool J definitely deserves it. He influenced everyone after him and was even called the greatest rapper alive at his peak.

Kraftwerk rocking and rolling the world since 1970. They deserve to be included in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, since their influence on Rock 'n' Roll Music is at least equal to Jimi Hendrix' influence on modern Techno Music or Motörhead's influence on todays Hip-Hop...

Another masochistic circle jerk, where what is the very essence of Rock music is disrespected, the continued nominations of artists who had nothing to do with Rock is insulting. Nine Inch Nails should have already been inducted along with a dozen other hard rock and metal artists that are no brainers. I would assume RATM would be a no brainer but that's what I thought about NIN. I don't have a problem with anyone on this list except JJ and LL Cool J, but their presence sticks in my craw. Disrespected by the Grammys, shit on by the Hall of Fame....what is this shit? There really needs to be a competing HOF. Hip hop is shoved down our throats by Corporate America 24/7 and even an institution that is ostensibly about celebrating and promoting Rock, is instead disrespecting it and almost belittling it.
