Red Hot Chili Peppers
KISS
Genesis
ABBA
LL Cool J
Iggy Pop and The Stooges

I think Genesis and KISS are long overdue..

Overall, the most appropriate list for awhile, though how LL Cool J can be construed as rock and roll is FAR beyond me. Let's induct Liberace, he played music!

What a bunch of maroons.--->JMS

hahah yeah man I know. I'll never understand why rap artists get in when there are bands like Rush, Def Leppard, and many others still waiting. But I think the rest are well deserving of the honor.

Why is rush not on that list, again ? Something needs to be done about that ..

Those acts are part of the list of 12 nominees and not the finalists for 2010. 5 or 6 acts from the 12 will be selected as the finalists and inducted in the spring of 2010

Here is the complete list of 12 nominees

I do say that The Hollies, Kiss, and Genesis, are way overdue for induction.-

I still want to know where is Rush, Yes, Kansas, Heart, Grand Funk Railroad, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Chicago, Tommy James & The Shondells, Paul Revere & The Raiders just to name a few that are still missing.

They should not have rap in the rock n' roll hall of fame. If they are going to do that they should rename it..

I am always at odds with some of their selections too. How can anybody rightfully say that Run-DMC, The Sex Pistols, Blondie, and Patti Smith, are more musically talented and deserving to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame than any of these other groups?

Here is a list of who is already inducted on this site.

http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/inductee-list/

This is just a partial list of those who have been eligible for many years but have been bypassed for many that should not be in the R&R Hall of Fame at all. It is amazing who has not made it yet.

Alice Cooper
Bachman Turner Overdrive
Bad Company
Badfinger
Blood, Sweat, & Tears
Blue Öyster Cult
Bon Jovi
Boston
The Box Tops
Bryan Adams
The Cars
Cat Stevens
Cheap Trick
Chicago
Cliff Richard (Solo & with The Shadows)
Deep Purple
Def Leppard
Devo
Dire Straits
Doobie Brothers
Electric Light Orchestra
Emerson, Lake, & Palmer
Foghat
Foreigner
Genesis (hopefully this year)
Gentle Giant
Grand Funk Railroad
The Guess Who
Hall & Oates
Heart
The Hollies (hopefully this year)
Jethro Tull
Johnny Rivers
Journey
Jr. Walker & The All-Stars
Judas Priest
Kansas
King Crimson
Kiss (hopefully this year)
Moody Blues
Neil Diamond
Pat Benatar
Paul Revere & The Raiders

They will put Britney Spears in before they put any of those deserving people in. I am thinking the R&R HOF is ran by the same people who run the grammy's. People who have no idea what music is ..

Looks like they passed by The Embalmed again as well...

Seriously, though, I think it's such a joke how they pick people. I did enjoy James Hetfield's speech when Metallica got in, mentioning Deep Purple & Thin Lizzy among others that SHOULD have already been inducted.

RobTheDrummer · Post by **RobTheDrummer** » Thu Sep 24, 2009 3:22 pm

What if they had a Rap hall of fame? Do you think Metallica would get in?

If they had a Crap hall of fame they would be in.

where did you find this list at? it doesn't seem quite accurate. I not disagreeing with the list it seems like a lot of newer bands when they still have a lot of older they haven't inducted.

The list of who is ALREADY inducted is on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website link in the previous post. Everybody else listed is eligible but not there yet.

Like what? The Big Bopper?

Nope. Sorry to say Jiles Perry Richardson, Jr (aka The Big Bopper) never made it in.

I always laugh every year when this thread gets posted. You get 10,000 people posting about how the inductees don't belong and how there are a billion other artists more deserving of being inducted.

Any type of awards ceremony, whether it's the Grammies, MTV Music Video Award, or the Rock 'n Roll hall of fame, is run by a bunch of suits and pretentious music critics. I don't watch the Grammies because I don't give a shit who made the music industry the most money that year; I don't bother with who gets inducted into the RRHF, because I don't care who some pretentious music critic thinks was culturally relevant in Februrary - March of 1987 and thus deserves induction.

It always makes me wonder why "halls of fame" for non-competitive things even exist. It's all opinion. Why isn't there a painter's or sculptor's hall of fame? Oh wait... there is... it's called the Louvre.

Kiss is huge...But inducting them into the RRHOF before Alice Cooper is like wiping before you poop. Doesnt make any sense and should almost be illegal.
