GNR yes, Cure yes, Joan yes, Chilis yes, Heart yes everybody else I dunno you or either I personally don't consider rap to be an inductable status for a rock n roll hall of fame. And as usual a true rock n roll talent will get shorted and a rap group/r and b group will get the nod.

It will be interesting to see which members of GNR show up.

I agree Motley.. some excellent groups that deserve to be inducted, but I think it is time to change the name from 'Rock and Roll' to just 'Music' Hall of Fame.

Once again no mention of Deep Purple.
Happy for The Small Faces though.

If Deep Purple are not in the Hall of Fame it is a joke. Only Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath can even make claims as to being the pioneers of hard rock.

Devolution here,
I think it should be just "Music" as well. But yes, Eric B. and Rakim would belong in it as well as the Beastie Boys. Very few of them I disagree with, but it's highly debateable. I think you need some guidelines. Eric B and Rakim were more Pioneers than mainstays. It's hard for me to think of what qualifies? Number of Albums? A certain number of #1's? One Great Album? 30 years of being "Ok"? If different is a qualification, the Chili Peppers and Cure are no brainers, but my question is, What makes someone a Musical Hall of Famer?
