    Not sure why Iron Maiden isn't in yet.

    THIS!

    Mother Love Bone has no business being in there, not by a long shot.

    Bon Jovi should be in there. Not my cup of tea, but they should.

    There are a pocket full of homegrown punk/hardcore bands that should be in there too like The Bad Brains, The Misfits, Minor Threat and The Dead Kennedys. These 4 bands started movements, music and spawned hundreds of other bands. If the Sex Pistols got in then these guys should have some consideration.

    Motorhead too?
    Yes indeed the bad brains belong in the hall. Chris is 100% correct, they made a movement, a very powerful one at that.

    Ya can't please everybody.

    Eligible as of 2014 nomination...
    3rd Bass, After 7, Alan Jackson, Alannah Myles, Ani DiFranco, Athiest, Babes in Toyland, Barenaked Ladies, Beautiful South, Better Than Ezra, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Bob Mould, Buffalo Tom, Cathy Dennis, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Christopher Williams, Clive Griffin, Dangerous Toys, DJ Magic Mike, Doro, Dream Theater, Enuff Z'nuff, Evildead, Extreme, Gang Starr, Garth Brooks, Gin Blossoms, Green Day, Jane Child, Jawbreaker, Jesus Jones, Lenny Kravitz, Lush, Manic Street Preachers, Maria McKee, Masta Ace, Michael Penn, Mother Love Bone, Mr. Big, Neneh Cherry, Nine Inch Nails, No Use for a Name, Obituary, The Ocean Blue, The Orb, Ottmar Liebert, Pavement, Phantom Blue, Porcupine Tree, Queen Latifah, Sarah McLachlan, Saraya, Sebadoh, Selena, Shakespear's Sister, Sick of It All, Skid Row, Slint, The Sundays, Superchunk, Technotronic, Texas, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Tom Petty, Unsane, Urge Overkill, Warrant, XYZ, Young MC, ...

    Tom Petty isn't in? Also Garth Brooks seems like an obvious choice. I'm not a huge country fan, and I know it isn't Rock and Roll, but the guy has sold 190,000,000 records (albums, singles, and video), and has six albums that have been certified diamond (10x platinum). That doesn't happen by accident.

    LOL. YouTube the following tunes my man : Unsatisfied, Left of the Dial, Can't Hardly Wait (slow or fast version), I Will Dare,

    Just great rock n roll. Could've been a Top 40 crossover alternative band but they sabotaged every chance. Great story to that band. Worth a listen

    Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers have already been inducted. Tom Petty's solo career is now eligible as Full Moon Fever came out in 1989.

    If we're saying Dead Milkmen surely we have to say Weird Al.

    The Tom Petty thing is hilarious to me. I hope he is never considered to take up a space as a "solo artist" because Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers IS Tom Fucking Petty. Same thing. Just because he releases some albums as "Tom Petty" with a different backing band, that would be insane if he is inducted TWICE. It's not like John Lennon/The Beatles or anything like that... Tom Petty is Tom Petty. The Heartbreakers is his band. They're all in. The end.

    Anyway, just goes to show that if Jann Wenner likes Green Day, then Green Day will get in first try. I don't know why Green Day has been featured prominently in past Hall of Fame shindigs and all that... inducting GnR and performing and stuff. Other than they are a pet band by the Hall of Fame's In-charges.

    Good to see SRV make it. Maybe Mike can induct him.

    What if Tom Petty's band wasn't called Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers but just the heartbreakers. Later on Tom Petty releases a solo album. Isn't that a different entity?

    When you take the band name out of it, it would be like Sting getting inducted twice. Once for the Police and once for his solo work. If it was called Sting and the Police then he can't? :)

    i should note my favorite Petty album is wildflowers which isn't a heartbreakers album (even though some heartbreakers play on the odd song). I think he should get awarded for that album alone.

    Btw I have much lesser issues with artists being inducted a 2nd time for solo projects, than I do with non-rock bands being inducted. It's not the music hall of fame, it's the rock n' roll hall of fame. I'm not sure why they induct hip hop, country and other artists. I suppose 5 years from now after all the seattle bands have been inducted, that the pickings will be slim. I suppose this gives them a way to keep the tradition going.

    They don't unfortunately. Whomever the fans vote for ultimately counts as 1 overall vote.

    I never thought Green Day would get in before Bon Jovi, Tom Petty, or Sting.

    Just like High Fidelity said too "If Jann Wenner likes them". There's probably a bias as to why Ted Nugent isn't in. Well I guess you could argue his career too, but I thought he was big?
