It's because it's 17 minutes of pure sexual innuendo in the song.

An OK year. Still better than the past year. And maybe why Deep Purple and Kraftwerk are not inducted is because Deep Purple said that the RnRHoF is for old men, and that Kraftwerk would not give a s**t about the award and that both band are maybe disliked by the commite. But Rush being inducted sure rocks. Now for the other inductees:
 
Heart: They were a great female rock band, and the fourth most deserving inductee in my opinion because of their early albums. They changed rock n' roll. And they proved that women can write great rock songs and can rule a band. Some of their albums aren't good but they deserve to be in there.
 
Randy Newman: Ok, he's a great composer but IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME !!! He isn't rock n' roll.
 
Public Enemy: OH !!! Another rap band. Adding a very bad choice this year.
 
Donna Summer: An important disco artist that isn't rock.
 
Albert King: An important forgotten blues man.
 
So, in the list of deserving artists (that is my opinion):
Yes: Rush, Heart
Borderline Yes: Albert King
No: Randy Newman, Donna Summer
Don't believe the hype of this artist (that's a big NO): Public Enemy
 
I say fourth for Heart because they are ten times more known than Procol Harum

Congrats to Rush but Purple not being in is frankly ridiculous.

I'm with you, in that all I know Randy Newman to be famous for is the main theme songs for all three Toy Story movies, and maybe light comedy movie at some point.

Yes isn't inducted yet, and they've been around longer. But I find the RnR Hall of Fame has 0 credibility. Their name alone doesn't reflect all the bands and artists included in it.

I get the feeling that Geddy doesn't really care. I don't either. Also, Public Enemy and Randy Newman inducted with Rush??? Give me a break.

Yup....They are in.....here is a quote from Geddy Lee. Very respectful as I expected them to act......class act for sure, but with some added humor which is perfect.
 
 
Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee told Rolling Stone, "It's a terrific honor and we'll show up smiling...It made my mom happy, so that's worth it." He added, "It was a cause [Rush fans] championed," he says. "I'm very relieved for them and we share this honor with them, for sure."


The band also issued an official statement: "We are honored to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 3 of us are especially appreciative of our loyal fans whose support and dedication has gone a long way to making this possible. P.S. And special thanks to our moms for voting 6000 times!"

Whoa.  Wasn't expecting that.

I'm going to have to go on over to Rushisaband.com and see what kind of fuss they're making over this.

Congrats Rush!

Nope. Sorry. Can't do it.


When I was younger i only knew Canada existed becaue of Bachman Turner Overdrive - Still love that band too !


I think Rush will get in because they have come to public attention finally... the movie HAD to have helped do this.

How about Saga?  Not really "elite".  Maybe Godspeed You! Black Emperor.  (probably will be considered more prog than Rush 100 years from now).




Saga is good, but yeah they are not on that major elite level like RUSH.

Rush, Kraftwerk, Deep Purple and Procol Harum are the prog/prog-related nominees for 2013. They all deserve induction, IMO, but I bet at least one of them won't get in.
