Biggest Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Snubs

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Pick as many as you want. As much as I hate him, I did put in Bon Jovi because he's technically eligible.

You really need to get a girl.

[Cugalabanza]

I picked...

G. Parsons

NY Dolls

Ozzy

Pixies

Replacements

Smiths

 

...but mostly I don't care. The R&R Hall of Fame is about as meaningful as the NFL pro bowl.

 

Edit: I like the Flaming Lips too (if you don't count their last couple albums). I didn't know they were eligible already. I'd also add Pavement, Capt. Beefheart and the Butthole Surfers if it were my personal H of F.

I agree. However, even if I did, I only access the site from work, so it wouldn't change my actions.

ELO is there. But Yeah, he belongs in as a solo as well.

[KD in CA]

Very few deserving on that list. The Doobie Brothers stand out as the most glaring omission.

[OGTEleven]

These guys are so snubbed that they aren't even on the snubbed list.

Deep Purple should be in for Made in Japan alone.

[Gugny]

Where is the "The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Is a Sham, So Who Gives a !@#$?" option?

[PromoTheRobot]

I think Devo belongs, not for "Whip It" and later, but their first two albums. They were a subversive band with a subversive message that is, sadly, truer every day.

I don't pay much attention to the R&R HOF but if Nine Inch Nails isn't in there, then it is a joke.

[truth on hold]

I guess they don't consider metal to be rock n roll, cuz no way the biggest metal front man of all time Ozzie doesn't make it

Nope. But apparently Madonna and ABBA are rock and roll.

I voted for all of the ones below. I think by far the biggest snub so far is Moody Blues.

 

Cheap Trick

Chicago

Doobies

ELO

ELP

Gram Parsons

Moody Blues

Weird Al

Warren Zevon

[Lofton80]

No Grand Funk Railroad?

[USMCBillsFan]

I voted for a bunch, but how Ozzy, Chicago and The Steve Miller Band aren't in I don't know. But there are MANY on that list that deserve it.

 

EDIT: I know it's tough in today's age since bands tour so late into their lives but IMO I think they should be retired from touring before being able to be in. But since that doesn't count I'll keep my votes the same, even though the R&R HOF is a joke. I read something a few days ago that Gene Simmons was wanting to buy it.

Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, two of the inaugural inductees still tour, granted not as much. So two of the most influential rock artists still wouldn't be allowed in. That's why it's gotta be 25 years after your first album.

No Grand Funk Railroad?

Honestly, didn't even know they weren't in, but that would skew poll results adding them this late.

[BringBackFergy]

Can't believe "Sammy's Hammy" isn't on the list. !@#$in ridiculous.
