    Townshend has more of a connection with Eddie and not as much with the whole band, Bono has more of a connection than Pete, this shouldn't be all about Eddie, if you are going to go there, Bruce Springsteen would be the same difference, now Bruce knows how to give badass speeches so from that perspective I wouldn't mind as much

    I can't stand Cornell personally and think the dude is a tool but he knows the guys' roots and helped them out with totd when they were still kids. I'd go with him but he's still a tool.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I would like to see Cornell. But I think it's more likely Neil.

    I would not have an issue with that. He's a fan, just like the rest of us.

    They have always had other musicians do the inducting
    Almost always. Chris Rock inducted the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    Do peers usually induct each other? I feel like its either from the younger generation or older generation...

    Flea inducted Metallica, so maybe the Hall of Fame decides, hopefully the band has a say
    I pretty sure you're right about this. James Hetfield said he was surprised to see Flea up there.

    More often than not it's a someone influenced by the inductee (Ed inducting The Doors, Neil Young, REM, and Ramones, Aerosmith inducting Zeppelin, Tom Morello inducting Kiss, etc.) so I'd expect someone like maybe the guy from The Strokes to do it. But then again, sometimes it's a peer. Jimmy Page inducting Jeff Beck for instance.

    And speaking of Chris Cornell, how the hell aren't Soundgarden in the Rock Hall? I mean, I guess if Iron Maiden can be overlooked then anybody can, but still.

    I would think it would b Cornell, a peer, over Neil. But I don't think it would b either. Someone hit it when they said it would probably be someone influenced by PJ, like The Strokes' Julian Casablances, or Yim Yames

    I don't really care either way. Both would be good.

    Chris Cornell would be my choice. He did a good job inducting Heart.

    unfortunately, the Hall chooses who inducts without any consideration to who the act wants to induct them. it's stupid.

    my vote would be Dave A, coming out with a plate of waffles.
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    first of all, the RRHOF sucks and makes no sense at the best of time.

    second, in my opinion, while I do love them, Soundgarden are not what one would call a groundbreaking band.

    Not exactly true, Eddie inducted The Ramones, I am sure Johnny had something to do with it

    George Harrison was inducted by fellow Traveling Wilbury's members, that wasn't some random decision
