Meh. Who cares?

Did you ever go to buy a ticket or a CD and then pause, asking yourself; "Wait, is this band in the Hall of Fame?"

After all, rock and roll is about being on the outside, not the inside. Nuts to 'em.

I agree there too. I think its just that every time a list of new inductees comes out there's a lot of 'WTF? reaction. I too am just interested in the Museum. I've only been there once but it was really cool to see the props from the Pink Floyd 'The Wall' tour among other Rock memorabilia.

That Metal show is sort of a joke in and of itself anyway. Half the time they don't even have their facts straight... Nicko McBrain was NEVER Clive Burr's drum tech.

I hear what you're saying about the ridiculous nature of whom is inducted the R&R Hall of Fame and who isn't.

However I also think that the entire "Hall of Fame" thing is ridiculous and irrelevant. It's an awful lot like the "Top 100 Rock and Roll Songs" lists that come out from time to time. It's all about opinions and popularity. Being on a top 10 list, or inducted into a glorified fan club is definately NOT rock n roll.

i was on the hof mailing list. when i got the news from them that abba was getting in, i lost it.

i promptly - mailed them back, asking to be removed from their mailing list. i never received a reply, but i no longer get any mail from them.

the hof is cool- some of the inductees are not.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if by this time next year Susan Boyle is nominated,the thing has become that much of a farce.

The RRHOF has become totally irrelevant.

i will say that trying to come up with a "best of" list for anything is insanely hard. we have a "best of" weekly segment on our podcast and it is crazy hard. with any genre and any time period there are so many influential and so many game changing artists. I hope that everyone that SHOULD make it gets there but there will always be those deserving that get left behind. It is sad but true.
