When will you people learn that the Rock HOF is a fricking joke and inherently flawed?

A joke no more if they put the Bad Brains and MC5 in this year.

My favorite part of these threads is when somebody whines that his favorite band is not in b/c the "Hall of Fame" is "elitist"

How do you have a HoF w/o being elitist?

I have no idea which bands are/aren't in the HOF and I can't even fathom caring about it.

In what universe is Tupac rock n roll? The rock n roll HOF is a joke. As is Journey.


Journey belongs there more than some nominated and most that are already in.


•Chaka Khan <----- No

•Chic <------ No

•Depeche Mode <----- About time

•Electric Light Orchestra <------ Yes

•J. Geils Band <------ Yes

•Jane's Addiction <---- Probably

•Janet Jackson <------ No

•Joan Baez <------ Why

•Journey <----- And you questioned them now?

•Kraftwerk <----- WTF?

•Pearl Jam <----- Sure

•Steppenwolf <----- Sure

•The Cars <----- Yes

•Tupac Shakur <----- Holy hell no

•Yes <----- Yes

There is someone whining every year about some rapper/non rock musician being nominated when those types of musicians have been nominated since the beginning. Run DMC and NWA are already in. Tupac and Jay Z will be in the HOF before everyone's favorite indie bands.

Pearl Jam will have the easiest time getting in, they are a virtually lock. They have potential to have an awesome presenter as well- Neil Young and Pete Townshend are the two obvious picks.

Peter Paul and Mary included Donovan in their 1967 hit "I Dig Rock 'n Roll Music".

Donovan is rock and roll, so is ELO, and Journey (a band I loved), but NOT Tupac Shakur.

Donovan was really good at Rock and Roll

and there is John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page with him to prove it.

I voted for ELO, Yes, Journey, Kraftwerk and The Cars.

If Yes doesn't get in this year, I'm gonna lose my shite.

That said, the HOF is a fricking joke

That is the one obvious example to support your argument.

I challenge you to find a second.
