So there are people on this board who have never heard of Joan Baez or ELO? Damn, I'm old.

I'm a youngster and I even know who ELO are.

Does it bother anyone else that PJ ranks at 4th place?

I understand that public voting results do not have much impact but still, it doesnt look good.

who the hell is electric light orchestra and how are they beating us? didn't I watch that series in grade school? that guy lamar was the main guy.

I listened to one ELO concert, on last week-end. They are between average and good. Nowhere close to PJ.

Jeff Lynne and ELO are between legendary and Hall of Fame. While Ed is getting some publicity with JayZ, Chris Martin, Sting, Bruce and Beyonce, Jeff Lynne travels/traveled in circles with Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and Bob Dylan. Jeff Lynne is a legend among musicians. Ed will get there, and PJ should get in on the first ballot, but let's not kid ourselves. PJ still has a ways to go for legend status outside of this board.

the public vote accounts for less than 1% if I remember correct.

Joan Baez has a beautiful voice IMO.... if you like super hippy-type folk music for baby boomers who never developed their musical tastes beyond about 1970, lol. But there are a few songs she's done that I can enjoy.

Tell me you're joking?!?!
Jeff Lynne & ELO were huge back in the day!!
Face The Music is a CLASSIC with Strange Magic & Evil Woman...really good album!!
I know I went thru several copies (had this one on vinyl and 8 track) of A New World Record & saw them on the Out Of The Blue tour!!!
These guys should absolutely be in the R&RHOF

he's never heard a Zeppelin song. So i don't think he is

Hey I know some zeppelin songs but far from an expert.
Dave, I still have no clue who they are.

I'm only voting for PJ and I have multiple email accounts so I'm voting more than once per day.

Heard there is a lot of that in Ohio. Isn't that how Bush won Cleveland in 2004?

I guess that is subjective. On an objective level, I see that Pearl Jam actually has 1.5 million more monthly listeners than ELO does on Spotify (PJ has 3.7m and ELO "only" has 2.07m). So PJ is more popular with Spotify users. However, the vast majority of ELO fans probably aren't on Spotify, so.....
Anyway, ELO is good, if you happen to like their style. I think they have a few great songs, and that's it.

Wasn't Tupac a total criminal? I guess he is considered one of the best rappers ever (I don't like rap), and this is about the music career and not private life... It still stings a bit, though, when straight up criminals are inducted. I mean, he spent time in prison for sexual assault, jail for felonious assault, and a bullet from his gun killed a child. Didn't he shoot some cops too?
And yet.... he's a rap superstar who will likely be a RRHoH inductee. Sigh.

you know how many people in there probably have records or have done illegal things as rock stars? we start basing criteria on whether an inductee has committed any crimes then I don't know how many people get in

Yes, this conversation has already happened in this thread. And I'm not talking just "illegal things". I am talking about violent crimes. Also, my post wasn't a suggestion.

1. Journey

2. ELO

3. Cars

subjective or not. if they haven't reached legendary status after 25 years then they'll never get it. But there's PJ radio both on Sirius and here.

True. I just have no idea who the judge is as far as who is and isn't legendary. I have no clue how one decides if Pearl Jam has reached "legendary status" or not.
