Is your favorite listed? Who do you think should be in?

 

[Walkazo]

Most of the classic rock artists I love are in there - the exception being The Alan Parsons Project (which should be up there).

[Red Barchetta]

The Rock Hall frustrates the living shit out of me. You can't tell me Chic deserves to be nominated 8 times yet The Moody Blues or Electric Light Orchestra haven't been nominated once. Place is literally a piece of shit and I really don't believe it focuses on rock and roll music as much as what publicity it can bring in.

 

[Stargatedalek]

well it is a hall of fame, not a museum
its for people who were/are most/more famous, not most important

 

[Magikrazy]

It is a museum, and it is for people who are most important.
