It makes as much sense as Dolly Parton in the rock hall of fame.

Lester Bangs' opinion of BC: "Their stocks in trade being the most predictable of heavy riffs and rodomontades to the effect that they are 'bad men'".
This remains the only usage of the word "rodomontades" I have ever come across. I wonder where Lester picked it up.

Not rock, I get it, but even the Bangles are in. For a rock band? Bad Company, baby!

I could see the argument for Bad Company, but Boston and Foreigner were the Nickelback of their day.
Ummm...NO. Foreigner was unique when they were new, maybe got a bit vanilla later. Boston? HELL NO. One of the greatest rock debut albums ever, and even though subsequent albums sounded similar there were very few.

Dolly Parton
True, most think she shouldn't have been invited, and even she turned it down at first. However, her people talked her into it, and she became the first person to write a song specifically for the induction ceremony. AND performed it in a tight leather outfit, which very few 76 y/o folks could pull off.
Dolly...

Agreed. It's been long enough though that I don't expect a kid looking back through today's lenses to know and understand what Scholz could do in a studio or how great a singer was Delp.

Both [NWA and Jay-Z] have had a much larger and long-lasting impact on music than Bad Company.
On what planet?
Bad Co. are legends of Rock.
Quantity /= Quality.
NWA and Jay-Z are fabricated legends of the Corporate-Luciferian Machine, aka Rap-Crap.

Let's not get crazy.
Paul Rodgers' entry via Bad Co. makes sense.
His entry because of Free doesn't.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and taste...but, "the Nickelback of their day"?? Ridiculous.
(People criticize Nickelback for being the definitive generic, un-innovative band.)
Boston defined "innovative" with their debut album AND sound -- they were anything BUT "generic" or boring.
Boston and Tom Scholtz are still legends. Their debut album stamped out their own unique music genre. That album -- Scholtz's guitars and Brad Dep's vocal still kick azz and blow away new listeners.
Foreigner came out of the chute in '77 and immediately blew listeners away with their sound that featured unique combos of harmonies and use of synths, guitar work.
Foreigner, Lou Gramm and Mick Jones are Rock Legends.
You either weren't around for any of this, or were completely out of the loop at the time. BOTH of those band's music were no-brainer Prime Time party fare.
What's your beef? Not edgy enough? Too "commercial"?
You a Deadhead?
No Boston. No Foreigner
