The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is just a big fucking corporate joke. If you're not kissing corporate ass (especially Rolling Stone's and Ahmet Ehertgun's asses), your chances to get in are slim and none. I'm truly surprised that Black Sabbath and AC/DC have gotten in - not that they didn't deserve it, but that the group of Depends-wearing codgers running the show even knew who they were. Fan opinion means nothing to them; it's their way or the highway. (Chubby Checker gets his undies in a knot every year because he's not included in this bunch.)
Honestly, I can make a good case for every artist who is being inducted this year, but I can also make good cases for bands like Rush, Kiss, Motorhead, etc. If someone could come up with a politics-free way of selecting artists who deserve to be immortalized - and keep in mind there will always be people who don't agree with your choices - then I believe it should be implemented.
