“Bullshit!” he cried.
No Yes
No KISS
No Rush
No Monkees
… there are many more snubs as significant as these. But Run DMC is in.
Finally, Neil gets his due!!!
I mean, who can resist?!
Dr. John and Leon Russel are just now getting in?
KISS is not in? really?
i think phish is eligible in 2017.
KISS sucks, face it.
And if I refuse?
KISS > Rush < Alice Cooper
Oh God.
Hall & Oates > Springsteen, take that shit.
^now you’re just getting silly.
Yeah I’m pretty sure…I can’t remember right now, but I remember talking about a band that rejected it in my Music class last year…
after a quick google search, it was actually this past semester we talked about it, and it was…the Sex Pistols
^ Consistent with their punk aesthetic.
^LMFAO!
Yeah…of all those artists, maybe four are better than suck!!!
Oh, and Rush and Yes…W T F already!!! Put these bands IN!!!
Didn’t Beasties get snubbed?
Rush will be in there!
Red Hot Chili Peppers snubbed. 
Where is the call for Crowded House? 
Yes, never let them in. Gene Simmons’ ego is big enough. And I say No to Yes and the Monkees…just because you had a couple hits doesn’t mean you’re Hall of Fame material.
I will say yes to Rush and I’ll add in the Moody Blues who have far more hits than people realize.
And some of these…Darlene Love?..Really? She was good for maybe two or three years and had a few hits and that makes her Hall of Fame? And now we’re putting in record executives in? And Leon Russell is borderline. It really seems like they’re grasping at straws here. I don’t know how you can have this many inductees every year when most eligible artists last 30 years or more.
Ozzy did something like this with Black Sabbath where he told them to take his band’s name off the list because the Hall isn’t voted by the fans and instead by the “supposed elite for the industry and the media, who’ve never bought an album or concert ticket in their lives.” Though I think this was more due to him not making it in than some real protest since they seemed fine with it when they finally got in. Strangely, the closest “FU” I’ve seen was the induction ceremony for Steely Dan where Fagan gave them maybe the coldest speech I’ve seen so far.
Bah. They’ll get in as overrated as they are…
^Say no to Yes? 
Hmm…I didn’t know the R N R HOF was based on “hits” I could be wrong. I am no expert at the subject. But Yes most definitely belongs in there. Moodys for sure!
