    Yep Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
    As far as I know they are not in it. Someone please tell me I am wrong, that would make my day!

    Most people i know who hate Rush have to admit they are great musicians!

    The Hall of Fame doesn't seem to give much love to prog rock bands. I could be wrong, but I don't think King Crimson is in there either. They defeintiely should be.

    The RnRHOF sorta blows. Rush should be in, and so should the Meters.

    Like them or not (and I side on the argument that they're overplayed on commercial radio)...they are an extremely influential band.

    Most drummers I talk with almost always cite Neil Peart as an influence.

    I've also been told that they have a lot of great albums. Personally, it doesn't click with me, but I can't deny their place in rock history.

    They would be a disgrace to the rock and roll hall of fame. Absolutely dreadful band and those screeching woman vocals do not help at all.

    If that is the criteria, then there should be a recount on Patti Smith. ;)

    I think Rush should be a no brainer for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They've achieved both huge critical and commercial success. While I'll admit they're not for everyone, they've achieved much more than some who are already in. I'm going to use my fall back here:

    If Percy Sledge got in...

    Rush will definitely be in with time. though people don't like them because they are very different and "proggy" and geddy's voice isn't the best, there is no denying that this band reeeeks with talent. to produce concept albums with such texture, force, and odd lyrics from 3 men is amazing. they also put on a killer show.

    No King Crimson.........No Yes.....No Rush.....I don't believe that Genesis or even Peter Gabriel are in the hall........seriously, this is a joke. Part of the reason is the fat poof that runs Rolling Stone hates that type of music, and he pretty much runs the hall now that Ahmet has passed. He was his idea to pass over the Dave Clark Five to get a rap act in the hall.

    I'm pretty sure that AC/DC are not in yet either (correct me if i'm wrong) talk about horse shit... Rush definitely should be in.

    It appears that AC/DC were inducted in 2003.

    It took those idiots almost 20 years to induct Sabbath, but c'mon they inducted Grand Master Flash before Rush, what the fuck

    I can't stand Rush, but I do agree that they deserve to be in the RRHOF. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame a few years back, so at least their own country gave them some props.
