Madonna? Run DMC? Grand Master flash?

Seriously Stevie Ray Vaughan was eligible this year and they chose Run DMC over him?

This hall is pathetic, I like what Johnny Rotten said about the hall of fame "So the only thing the Sex Pistols will be remembered for was because we were famous" and it is true and thats why i have a problem with Award shows how can you award someone else's music and degrade another's?

If you put your heart and soul into your songs then who are these Judges at Awards show to tell you other wise? How can you measure who's song is better than who's? By votes? Well thats kind of a personal taste now isn't it?

Its not like a Race where you can declare a winner, I mean if you were at the Olympics watching a Boxing match and all the Judges voted for who they liked wouldn't you call it rigged?

Either the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does some serious changes on who they induct in or do not come around asking anything from anyone, Because if you are inducting people based on fame then it is more of a Mausoleum than a Museum, Also if you are putting Pop and Rap artist over fellow Rock Artist that deserve it then please piss off because i do not need a Hall of Fame to tell me who makes good music.

Ooo. That bad, huh? Sorry to hear that.

And that is a pretty bad situation. I hate it when a contest, or, in this case, a hall of fame, declares a winner based on something other than quality.

I've been boycotting the RRHOF since Rush was eligible for induction. And they've made terrible choices that are not even close the the people or groups that deserve to be in.

I am not sure how the officials define Rock N Roll!?!?

Maybe the change should be made to POP Music Hall of Fame? One thing that I know is that Madonna and Run DMC do not create rock n roll - at least not by my definition of rock n roll. Oh well what are you going to do? Pretty soon we will see Idol winners being inducted........................... :cry:

SRV in Madona(crapface) out!

Rush in Run DMC out!

Put rockers in, and leave fashion divas' and rappers out. If they want to be in a hall of fame they can make their own,

Rap hall of Fame
and
Over-rated crapface diva hall of fame!

Madona's first fellow "Over-rated crapface diva hall of famer" should be that retarded anti-talent Pete Wentz!!!

I am in the contest for the amp, I'm upset it has his sig on it that he even touched it. The day the bass comes...you'll find it on ebay.

Ohh...maybe but I wouldn't use it plus even if I did sell it all of the money would go to my fender basses fund, though I need a now monster bass cable..I just buy a monster bass cable and a fender bass cable. Fender has nothing to worry about :D !!!

Yea I think the rock n roll hall of fame should be for rock and roll. I like Run DMC but I think they fall under hip-hop just because they did one song with aerosmith doesn't make them rock n roll.....does anyone know if lil richard is in the hall of fame?

Ok, I agree with AITF, he is correct - How do they let groups like RUN DMC and individuals like Madonna in, and not induct SRV? Rediculous!!

However, im sittin here in my hotel room, looking out the window directly at the Rock N Roll HOF - My girlfriend and I came up last night, and went there this morning and spent 3-4 hours - so, I do agree with the post, its crazy who has made it in, and who hasnt - the selection commitee leaves much to question to say the least!!!!

What blew me away, we all know how great SRV is and how he has influenced so many guitarists - I did not see anything in the HOF regarding Stevie, other than during a short film, when Pete Townsend was commenting on how many icons have passed on, they showed a quick picture of SRV - Being a huge SRV fan, this was disappointing!

Ill post about the cool things in a new post, dont wanna hijack AITF's post, but I am in complete agreement with his argument!!

After I learned that Van Halen and Metallica were admitted into the RRHOF, I've been well convinced the RRHOF was for those kind of sell-outs, rather than the actually GOOD musicians like SRV or Megadeth. :?
