How many do they do? 5?
Donovan
Dr John
Alice Cooper
Neil Diamond
Tom Waits
Dr.John, Alice Cooper and Tom Waits for sure… 
Seeing how the R&R HOF also considers Rap/Hip Hop to also be Rock, I could see the B-Boys getting in, at least they know how to play instruments…
Alice Cooper
Yes
King Crimson
Rush
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
KISS
SRV
Jann says “No.”
^zackly. F*ck the RRHoF. I’m glad Van Halen didn’t show up.
^I agree, the R&R HOF has pretty much zero credibility in my book… They have a strange definition of what R&R is or was…
If Donovan doesn’t get the nod then this whole system must be rigged.
agreed…i did check out the RRHoF before the Blossom show…wasn’t really a whole lot i really enjoyed…Jerry’s guitars and The Band’s organ were about it, sad but true…oh and the hotdog
Dr. John seriously isn’t already in?
Yeah…what a joke that “place” has gotten to be. They really have strayed away from R & R roots…weak.
The Rock Circus Wax Museum (or whatever they call it) has much better taste with what they think is immortal worthy. The interactive experience of getting shot with a .357 by Sid Viscious while he sings Sinatra’s “My Way” is unforgettable!
That said. My five from the list as I feel should or will get inducted:
1.Beastie Boys-(LL wil get it though.(That’s o.k. He’s awsome))
2.Donna Summer Is Disco Rock? What a Diva!!
3.Neil Diamond “Coming To America!” feel feel feel Neil’s Heat!!
4.Alice Cooper- I’m 18!! 70’s anthems go over huge with the voters.
5.Bon Jovi I think record sales counts. I don’t see them not getting inducted. Hell, I even had some cassettes of theirs…
i heard Phish is gonna do “Livin on a Prayer” to open the ceremony.
^ 'Bout Fricken Time! 
The only reason to go to the Rock Hall is to see the hot dog, fries, and shake.
And you can see those in the lobby without paying.
My friend from Richmond believes Phish to be the “best cover band ever”. That means he’s only a short step away from getting the rest of it.
Yeah, totally bogus… 
Fishman is going to sing Cracklin’ Rosie when Neil D. gets inducted. I can’t wait.
