Guys, please, give it a rest. RnR Hall of Fame blows four characters, and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it, OK?

^ What do you think of when you hear "rock-n'-roll"? When I hear it, I think "traditional rock-n'-roll".

^ So did a few other artists/bands. Maybe that's just how RnRHoF folks planned. Now, if Rush got in on 12/21/12, that would be something.

You know something, I totally agree. I don't care anymore. The whole rock and roll hall of fame concept is so inconsistant and doesn't make sense because it's run by monkeys. Actually the progressive music awards is where it's at. Rush beat out Nightwish's Immaginarium for album of the year. Now there is something to cheer about.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Very cool for Rush. I approve (Heart as well). Thumbs Up  That Deep Purple was rejected is bogus.  I do not approve.  Thumbs Down

When Deep Purple found out they were not inducted in to the Rock n Roll Hall of Lame they posted this press release photo:

As I said...

Just taking a quick look at some of the artists who are in, and who's not, should make it clear to all fans of rock that RaRHoF is just a big, fat joke. It's not something which should be taken seriously.

I say fourth for Heart because they are ten times more known than Procol Harum
I beg to differ. I've known PH for several years, but hadn't heard about Heart before today. Then again, perhaps it's just me?LOL

I thought Heart was pretty well known.  Then again, same with Procol Harum.

Happy for Rush.  Actually, I'm happy for Public Enemy too.  They're not rock, but the precedent was set years ago (arguably from the start) that the voters don't need to vote in rock bands.   I can live with it.

I feel the same way.  While I don't care for non-rock acts getting into the HoF, Public Enemy getting in is okay by me.  They were cool in their own way and very influential and actually very intelligent to top it off (unlike today's rap/pop candy crap).  As long as Rush got in, I'm happy (yet, I also would've been fine had they not, since they'd been snubbed for so long).
