I think most if not all of them are some pretty good ideas.

They should just let everyone in. Like 'everyone' it's become so much of a joke that if you don't make it in then the music industry just hates you. Which is probably a good thing to be honest nowadays.

Not that I really care, but I will find some pleasure in RHCP not being inducted.

RHCP are the only ones that really deserve to be there. GnR is pretty annoying honestly, and the rest are pretty meh.

Eh most of those bands did contribute to music. I've never found RHCP to be a particularly interesting band but I'd not say personal opinion is the driving force behind selections.

GnR contributed more to music than RHCP ever will. They are much more rememorable and almost everyone has heard asong off of Appetite For Destruction. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they shouldn't be there. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke though. No Rush and no Iron Maiden is inexcusable.

Your thoughts ?xdude85
The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke. And I'm not alone in thinking that, I read an article a few days ago about the bassist of AC/DC denouncing the whole thing.

Well, the inductees are selected by a few people who aren't musicians themselves....

I don't really pay attention to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but there are some odd choices in there. Laura Nyro is a fantastic singer songwriter but I don't know anyone who knows her so I don't see her getting in. I would love to see The Small Faces get in though. They were one of the most underrated bands of the 60's. The other choices are interesting. I am not a fan of Guns & Roses, or Red Hot Chili Peppers but I can see why they would get in. The Cure are a great band so I would like to see them get in.
