Discuss snubs and all that horseshit.

[RoXer]

There aren't a lot of snubs, are there? List bands that aren't (but are eligble to be) in the "Hall of Fame" for me.

[Vastardikai]

Kiss (I can see the arguments both ways)
Neil Diamond (Why isn't he there already?)
The B52s
Boston
Kansas
Rush
Thin Lizzy
T. Rex
Alice Cooper (again, should have been in by now)
Cyndi Lauper (If Madonna is gonna be in, at least get the TALENTED one in as well)
King Crimson
Tom Waits (again, should have been in by now)
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest

I see Bon Jovi going in. I can also see both him and Alice getting snubbed this year, again. It's not like I'm asking for inductions for the Melvins, the Swans, or Running Wild. (though the first band one could actually make a case for when they're eligible next year.)

[Schlomey]

I'm all for Alice Cooper getting in. He's the man.

[Downunder]

How the fuck is Alice Cooper not there already

[Vastardikai]

Another significant omission: Weird Al.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Tom Waits should be in, so should Alice.

LL Cool J can go blow a basketball team.

[El Fangel]

Tom Waits should be in, so should Alice.

LL Cool J can go blow a basketball team.

The R&R HOF is a joke. How can LL Cool J be a nominee when bands like Rush and Iron Maiden, or artists like Alice Cooper still aren't in it?

[RGWhat316]

It should just be the music HOF, since there isnt too much actual rock that gets nominated to go in.

[St. Jimmy]

The Beastie Boys? Fuck off.

[Vastardikai]

What? I liked "Sabotage."

Besides, they are at least remotely rock, unlock Chic or Donna Summer.

Agreed. It seems to be as credible as some bullshit VH1 list.

[thedamndest]

Alice has been eligible for a while but this is the first time he has been nominated. I don't have any doubt that he will go in.

[Vastardikai]

I can see it, thedric.

I saw it happen with Kiss, and I can definitely see it with Alice Cooper.

[Seth82]

Rush definintely should be in there

Donovan is a good one on that list to go in but probably won't...

this is LL's first year for eligibility and already he gets nominated... I say no way should he be inducted just yet

[Vastardikai]

He was nominated last year as well, Seth.

[Downunder]

Since when was LL Cool J rock?
