Five will be chosen.

 

Not on this year's ballot is the band that the web site Future Rock Hall considered the heaviest favorite to be inducted in 2008: METALLICA. Other acts that were snubbed include RUSH, KISS, JETHRO TULL, STYX, YES, GENESIS/PETER GABRIEL and ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA.

The Rock and Roll hall of fame is a joke.

Until Kiss is inducted the Hall of Fame is and will be a joke.

 

 

Kiss RULED the 70's and inspired generations of Rock musicians...

 

 

 

Kiss is a hell of a lot more Rock and Roll than Madonna....

JOHN MELLENCAMP I can see as Rock and Roll, but that is the only one.

 

MADONNA and DONNA SUMMER, you gotta be sh1tting me!!!!!!

 

METALLICA, KISS, and STYX. I would put them above anyone they actually nominated.

 

GENESIS.......No fvcking way

Every band in the "snubbed" list is a better rock and roll band than every one in the nominated list.

 

Rush, Styx, Kiss, Yes, Tull... jeebus

It's a real shame. Wasn't some rapper inducted last year. Who's responsible for nominating people? It p*sses me off- the more I read, I doubt I'll make a point of ever visiting.

BEASTIE BOYS

 

 

But really, I would have thought KISS would have been one of the first ones in

The Rock and Roll hall of fame is a joke.

 

 

It's no baseball hall of fame though.

 

Phil Rizzuto and Tony Perez are in and Jim Rice and Pete Rose aren't.

 

1994: The year Rizzuto was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee after a 38-year wait.

 

AKA he wasn't worthy.
