    They get fragged here as much as Creed, could never figure out the hate for them.  Hell cant figure out all the hate for Creed either, so what if they we corprate genetic wannabees.  If you dont like them dont listen, there is no need to tear them (either band) down out of spite, just immature and petty

    I’ve always suspected, but it’s nice to confirm that the fan vote for RnR HOF is worthless.

    DMB not going in is a ridiculous omission. Many artists are deserving, I get that, but these guys have been together, making music, and touring every year for decades. Not a lot of other bands can say that.

    They sold the most tickets from 2000-2010.  They have nine straight #1 albums.. NINE!  No one else has that.  It is utterly stupid.  And they continue to sell out arenas and ampitheaters every single summer, not when they do some reunion tour 20 years later.

    All the artists are worthy. And I’m not bent outta shape that DMB didn’t get it, happens to a few artists I enjoy every year. It just shows how silly the fan vote is. They are the first band to win the fan vote and not get in. It proves it’s a pointless thing.

    It really is worthless. The "experts" who decide the artists that get in shouldn't be deciding anything. I like Howard Stern's stance on it. He says he throws away his ballot every year because who the fuck is he to say who should or shouldn't get in.

    It's rare for a band to get in on their first year of eligibility.  They'll get in eventually.  Probably.  I'm a fan, but I didn't think they'd get in, and was pretty annoyed at how much their social media pushed the voting.

    Yeah, maybe the social media push did work against them. But it shouldn't because it was all free publicity for RRHOF.

    I was very vocal early on about their constant begging for us to vote daily, and was chastised for it. I had to snooze my DMB fb groups because that's all it was there, too. Not that I care what other people think, but everyone going crazy about the fan vote which counts for one-tenth of a percent was quite annoying.

    Think about this. Soundgarden, DMB were overlooked for T Rex and Notorious BIG. I love BIG but he put out three albums if you count the double album as two. And that double album is a lot of filler. Plus any inclusion of P Diddy on the album is a huge strike against. One of the best singers and bands in Soundgarden and the powerhouse and consistent band that DMB is. No Maiden? Pathetic as always. Shame on the Rock Hall. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    I'm okay with Biggie because he was very influential to that genre.  It's not like Nirvana had a 30 year catalog either.  It's the fucking DOOBIE BROTHERS that bugs me.  C'mon.. does anyone LOVE the Doobie Bros?  Do they sell out stadiums?  Are Kansas and Styx up next?  Michael McDonald's best work was singing backup for the Dan on Aja!

    I agree. I look at this list of selections and NIN seems like the only band worthy of inclusion. The list of eligible bands made me believe that this was the year that things changed for the better. How can a band get so many fans to vote. So many 1 albums. Constant sellouts of big tours and DMB is left out. Soundgarden is left out. Maiden and Priest are left out. But T. rex and the Doobie Brothers are in? It’s a travesty. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Whoa, whoa whoa, I will not sit idly by and have people disparage T Rex. 

    All these artists deserve to be in, we can debate who should get in before others, but lets not act like T Rex and the Doobie brothers weren't influential or popular and don't deserve to be there.

    They may belong in. But let’s just start with no Pantera(not even a nod), no Soundgarden, no Alice In Chains, no Maiden or Priest( I don’t even like either band but appreciate their influence and fan base) no DMB? Come on. Those bands before the mentioned bands? Not even close. Deftones, Melvins,? All deserve a induction before the Doobies, TRex, Paul Revere, BIG. BIG before Ice Cube? Ice Cube put out Predator, Death Certificate, and Lethal Injection. Ready to Die is as good as those three albums. But Life after Death should be one album. The Hall as with other “awards” for art are outta touch and it’s sad. 

    That being said. The fan vote should guarantee a spot.

    That's why I liked Jeff's shirt at the induction. I am looking at it while writing this, and there are some more than worthy names on there. Just to touch on a couple, no Warren Zevon or Thin Lizzy in the hall? C'mon already.

    But once again, it's giving an award for art and all that.

    DMB won't be getting in for a long time.  The fans will have to deal with that.

    I personally don't care if they get in or not. I'll never attend the RRHOF for any reason. As long as they keep touring I'm good.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    ^^^ Exactly. The HOF is worthless in my eyes. It's sometimes cool to watch the speeches and performances, but the actual HOF? Meh.

    I mean actually being in said HOF is worthless in my eyes. Some bands may think they can charge more for tickets because of it. Cheap Trick thought this and was wrong; worked out for me though since I scored 2-for-1 tickets day before the show. But once again, it's an award for art which is subjective.

    Memorabilia exhibits are totally cool though. I would've spent all day at MoPOP last August if they didn't close on me lol. We only had about 2 hours by the time we got there.
