Isn't the fact that they aren't appropriately admitted about as rock n roll as it gets?

There are so many deserving bands from the past that have been ignored that I've given up caring.

Has Liberace been inducted yet?

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Reveals Class of 2023

Quote:

Willie Nelson just got an only slightly late 90th birthday present: an impending induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The country music legend was one of seven music figures announced Wednesday morning as having been voted into the hall, along with Kate Bush, Rage Against the Machine, Missy Elliott, Sheryl Crow, George Michael and the Spinners.

There are six more inductees beyond that list, with the distinction of being selected by a select Hall of Fame committee to join the seven performers who were voted in via general balloting. These are singer Chaka Khan, instrumentalist-producer Al Kooper and lyricist Bernie Taupin, all in the "musical excellence" category; pioneering rock guitarist Link Wray and hip-hop originator DJ Kool Herc in the "musical influence" division; and "Soul Train" TV host Don Cornelius as the recipient of the annual Ahmet Ertegun Award.
Still no Soundgarden or Iron Maiden.

Soon Eminem will make it in before Maiden

Of course Bruce's comments back in 2018 doesn't help their cause

Just realized Link Wray is one of the special inductions. Can't believe he wasn't already in.

Interested to see what Rage does for their induction. They never miss an opportunity for a spectacle

Rock and roll hall of Fame imploding still the most desirable outcome.
Completely unrelated to the thread, but I do have a cool RHHF story, so I'd rather not see it implode.

My family and I were driving through Ohio last year on the way to see family in Pennsylvania. My birthday was during the trip, so my wife surprised me with tickets to the RHHF. The displays and exhibits were awesome, but the best part was they had a room where there were a couple of musicians just sitting around. They had a bass player, keyboard, and drummer. There were a couple of mics set up, along with a Les Paul, and 1950s Telecaster, and a Strat sitting out. Anyone could just walk up and request to sing a song or play guitar with them. I got to play "Gimme Three Steps" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance" in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Had a pretty good audience gathered around by the time we were done.

My favorite birthday present ever.

On what planet does Missy Elliot get in over A Tribe Called Quest?

Joy Division and New Order should have been entered a long time ago. I'd agree with Iron Maiden as well.

They need to put in Bachman-Turner Overdrive and/or Randy Bachman in the Hall. Could also induct him with the Guess Who.

They also need to induct Paul Rodgers with Bad Company and/or Free.

The HOF has been in the "watered down " down stage for a few years now, and will continue its slide.

10 years ago you would have been laughed at for saying K Bush and Missy should be in. And love Willie, but not here. Pretty sure a token country artist every year from here out.

Everyone knows the Rock-n-Roll hall of fame is a joke!..They wouldn't know what real rock was even if it smashed them over the head with a Zildjen cymbal. Willie Nelson? Eminem? Missy Elliott? Dolly Parton? Really? What a joke. They need to change the name to the Pop Music Hall of Fame....that would be more in line with their thinking. They also charge inductees something like $10,000 a table for the induction ceremony. And making Rob Halford sing freakin Jolene and Dolly last year...embarrassing! Rob should have known better.
