    Wow, NWA and last year I think it was Public Enemy whom most people wouldn't think of as a Rock & Roll Band.

    I guess the R&RHOF is for any type of music created after circa 1950 and/or are they simply running out of folks to induct?

        Deep Purple only now just being considered? I guess that means Jethro Tull are still in with a shot.

          Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
          So that blind people can hate them as well.

          I would have thought Deep Purple would have been in long ago...

          Here's an interesting list of some of the biggest "snubs":

            Wow! The Moody Blues aren't in there either. Now that is a surprise

            It has long been rumoured the the HOF actually hates prog rock. The only ones I can see who have been inducted are Genesis (as well as Peter Gabriel solo), Pink Floyd and Rush.

            But jeeze, you'd think the Moody Blues would've made it based on album sales and longevity.

            It's a funny old world we live in.

              Based on a combination of how long they've been snubbed with their influence on rock and roll, I think Dick Dale and Link Wray are huge snubs. Dick Dale pretty much invented "surfing" music and Link Wray the "power chord".


              I also can't believe Steppenwolf isn't in. Magic Carpet Ride and their version of Born To Be Wild are two of the greatest songs in rock history.
