The list is spot on. Mojo got this right for sure. Agree with every one. After all the great ladies inducted, I always wondered why Pat wasn't. She friggin killed it on Crimes of Passion.
Where is rush
I'm assuming this was made after Yes was induced because if not, this video is a crime.
Priest and Ozzy should be there.
Remove Ozzy, put Dio on #2. Else just die.
fucking SLAYER m/
love pat benatar, bon jovi and ozzy. t rex I believe should be in because of their importance of the development of rock n roll. the rest, question mark.
The Pixies and The Cure should be on this list. Ronnie James Dio and Bon Jovia has no business in the RnR unless they buy tickets.
And yet, no mention of Huey Lewis & The News(eligible since 2005), The Cars(since 2002, who didn't get enough votes last year), or Duran Duran(since 2006), three of the most popular/influential bands of the 80's. BTW, Peter Gabriel is in as both a Genesis member and solo artist, but why has Phil Collins been waiting for 11 years!? Furthermore, The Eagles were inducted 20 years ago, but we have yet to see Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, or Don Henley get in as solo artists.
It took the R&RHOF forever to induct Black Sabbath so I wouldn't hold my breath on Ozzy. :'(
What about King Crimson?
Why Tommy Bolin and UFO isnt in the hall shows the hall doesnt have a clue what rock and roll is.
Meat Loaf !!!!!!!!
pssst… the cure
Idiots…….Jethro Tull !! WTF…..
Every single queen member cmon
Getting into the Hall of Fame means nothing to Iron Maiden.
11:25 No excuse for not being in the RnR Hall of Fame. Yeah, but where the hell is the excuse for the rappers and popstars being there? Seeing most of the bands on this list shocked, as I already thought these bands were inducted. WTF is wrong with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Get the rappers out of there and add some real musicians!
End rant on Rock and Roll HOF
Joooeeee COCKER!!!
The Who, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue should be in the hall of fame already
What about AC/DC
<3 Iron Maiden
RRHOF voters HATE the 80s
Moody Blues #1 Roxy Music #2 Jethro Tull #3
That the Moody Blues aren't in is ridiculous. That this jerk thinks Ozzy Osborn should be in is pathetic.
Creed should be in the roll and rock hall of fame
You mean the same hall as Madonna,l.l kool j and Abba ? Why would they want to be associated with them?
where the hell isTED NUGENT in all this?
ACE OF SPADES!!! The ACE Of SPADES.
Perhaps this is one possible induction that people could find questionable but, simply upon achievement alone, should Three Dog Night be nominated for the Hall of Fame? How many acts can attest to charting 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, so many of them high-charting and with three of them #1? That is getting into Beatles and Stones territory there. Maybe they were not as groundbreaking as Cream and maybe they were not necessarily the most-rocking like a Zeppelin, but if the Hall is going to nominate one-hit-wonders or outright pop artists or artists from other outside musical genres like jazz and country without a second thought, then I believe that Three Dog Night should be considered.
God I fucking hate the smiths
Only watched it to make sure that Iron Maiden are N1.
Here's a quick list I came up with: Bad Company, The Cars, Doobie Brothers, Def Leppard, Moody Blues, Pantera, Foreigner, Styx, and even Duran freaking Duran.
Here are my ten picks:
1: The Sonics
2: Thirteen Floor Elevators
3: MC5
4: Link Wray
5: Dick Dale
6: The Monks
7: The Smiths
8: Syd Barrett
9: Black Flag
10: Rocky Erickson
Mötorhead
Judias preiest
Ozzy
Bon Jovi
Motley cue
All should be in there already
Don't read the comments here. Please. I beg of you. Cancer.
why doesn't pop music have their own hall of fame, because the fact that run dmc, n.w.a, madonna are in the rock n roll hall of fame it's stupid
Three Dog Night is a serious oversight as well.
Why isn't Motley Crue high
