Quoted from xsvtoys:

Although, my ratings were for who should get into the "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame, not my taste. There are tons of bands I really like that I don't think should be in there.
Def Leppard - yeah I kinda agree on it, I never could get much into them, but it seems like they are very popular.
Kraftwerk - yes I like them. I should reconsider. But I do like them.
Roxy Music - that's just personal taste there I agree. I never could get into the music. I agree they are good though. Sometimes things don't match up with one person's taste.
Gryszzz - I take the blame for MC5, too quick too judge I like most punk.
Devo - one of the greatest ever. Once again you can argue genres and say they aren't rock and roll, but what genre are they anyway? Its like they invented their own genre.
Whew I'm glad no one defended Stevie Nicks.
Anyway, its all a fun game, because so matter how you slice it, its not really a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I guess Vid is right, you can argue the division of the genres all day long and probably will never be able to get a logical conclusion. It should really be called the Music Hall of Fame. Or maybe the Rock and Roll and Blues and Rap and Pop and Country and Hip Hop and Techno Hall of Fame.

Quoted from pinkid:

None of those listed are worthy. Rock'n'Roll has been going downhill since Randy Rhoads died. ALL of this new shit sucks. End of story.

Quoted from Frippertron:

How do you teach rap? These are words that rhyme with bitches and these are words that rhyme with ho. Talk about Cristal, pimpin', money, drugs, and said bitches and you got it down.

Quoted from Frippertron:

I don't like 98% of the music Levi. I do like Wu Tang because they DON'T rap about these things and are intelligent people. I like Cypress Hill, Digable Planets, The Roots, and A Tribe Called Quest. I don't like the lazy tropes I wrote about in my previous post.

Quoted from Frippertron:

Fair enough. I'm admitting to being behind the times. I'm just having fun. Everyone has their perspective. I'm a prog fan, who am I to talk down to anyone My genre of choice has been dragged through the mud for nearly 50 years!

Quoted from usandthem:

Ever since the first couple of classes of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc.), African-Americans and people of African descent from any other country have pretty much been out of the business of making rock and roll music. Is it possible that the RRHOF inducts rap and pop acts just to ensure a certain degree of diversity? Country music is closer to being rock and roll then rap, but country musicians don't get inducted.
