The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has long been a joke, but this year may be the worst ever

I like Jack White, but the White Stripes are not a HOF group.

Neither is OutKast or Joe Cocker. Bad Company is questionable, but I can accept it. Chubby Checker has been eligible for 40 years yet never got in until now. Cyndi Lauper? lol.

Soundgarden is a good one.

If we accept the notion that rappers are allowed in. OutKast absolutely belongs in

OutKast first three albums are great. Next two were massive selling albums, about as big as you could get towards the end of the MTV era.

I couldn’t care less about it

Wasn't already in? Might be the worst part.

White Stripes are definitely not HOF level.

Outkast seems like a solid choice honestly.

Chubby Checker should have been in 15 years ago. So should have Bad Company and Joe Cocker. The rest...no.

There is no such thing as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

It's the Music Hall Of Fame.

Since when is rap considered Rock and Roll? No fricking way they should get in.

There are already rappers, so it isn't genre specific despite the name. Cher, Al Green, Gil Scott-Heron and many other non-rock and roll acts are in with varying degrees of worth.

With that in mind, Outkast is well deserving to be in there.

Need to just do away with the name and just call it music HOF then.
