It's not a bad list, I just don't understand why they have to make a distinction between all those awards: influence, excellence, performance... just have it all under one umbrella.

Someone did not "just click the fucking link..."
- The Knäve *ech*"Surprisingly, Jimmy Buffett pops up among the inductees — unexpected because not only was the late singer/songwriter not on the ballot this year, but he had never even been nominated before. But the Rock Hall’s committee was clearly in a sentimental mood after his death seven months ago, and took the liberty of ushering Buffett in via a separate, non-voted category, for “musical excellence.”
That honorary category is also the side door through which the committee installed two other performers who had been nominated before without ever being selected by voters: Warwick and MC5. The latter group had been nominated six times without ever being voted in (only Chic had been nominated more times and remained shut out); with the “musical excellence” classification, the Rock Hall finally took matters into its own hands in installing the influential 1960s trio." |

I think they've said the artist has to have the spirit of Rock and Roll. That leaves the door open for other genres to be included. It took a while for Bon Jovi to be in. Some felt they were not trailblazers.

If it wasn't for Wenner and his cronies' personal biases, Foreigner should have been in years ago.
