    I won't lie - I can't say I like everybody on the list, but they all seem influential enough in their fields.

    I always knew that once the HOF got to the 70s, no two people could agree on who gets nominated/elected.

    Wtf is a hall of fame, and why the fuck does anyone need one?

    Total antithesis of rock n roll.

    Based on random selection of four bands from the list -

    SHOULD GET IN (by any thinking persons standards)

    Rush
    Deep Purple
    Albert King
    Kraftwerk

    WILL GET IN (based on history of idiocy in this process)

    Randy Newman
    Heart
    Deep Purple
    Albert King

    WHO I THINK SHOULD GET IN (just because i like them)
    Kraftwerk
    PE
    Albert King

    If Joan Jett & The Blackhearts get in does that mean The Runaways get blocked out or does this grease their chances.

    Not that im a fan and shit.

    Joan Jett had hit records and rock critic appeal. The Runaways had neither.

    Thus - the Runaways will be on the outside looking in for a long time.

    Finally, Deep Purple gets nominated. Probably the most glaring omission for the last 10 years or so.
