R&RHF has gotten some great bands to reunite and perform and that's fantastic but i can't really care that much on who gets in or who don't or who has yet to be even nominated, who should or should'nt be in. Awards ceremonys are just Corny and Un-Rock & Roll imo, taking itself too seriously. I love my Albums and 45s and that"s enough satisfaction for me.

Ted Nugent should have been in years ago but will never get there because of his politics. The nomination process seems a joke with only a few music executives involved. Start a rival HOF with nominations and selections by the fans then you might get my interest.

Said on the news 1000 people from the music industry where involved in the selection. I think 5 maybe 6 got it.

I love Ted. Top grossing act in 1978. I wore out double live gonzo. He doesn’t belong and it’s not because of his politics.

Looks like it was more than a "few" but nominee names were selected by a nominating committee. It's my understanding voting is a separate part of the process but voters select only from the nomination list. I looked up the committee for this year.

Been a John Prine fan since the 70s. Had the pleasure of catching a performance in a small theatre in Butte, MT about 5 years ago.

Madonna deserves to be in pop music HOF but not R&R HOF. That’s part of my quarrel with this HOF. It’s no longer a R&R HOF.
I love Ted. Not HOF worthy.

It should be called "Popular Music hall of fame".
MC5 don't need no damned hall of fame.
