Alice is a no brainer.......and if it was his stage show...there would be a "no-brainer" guillotine scene......

KISS shouldn't be in the Hall. Of course, neither should a lot of people that are so maybe they do deserve to be in.

I'd love to hear your reasoning on this. For a band who's been touring for 35 years and is still selling out shows and producing new music and performing at a high level, to which a lot of younger bands owe a great deal of gratitude, I'd love to hear you explain why they don't belong.

I've never really been a Kiss fan, but for their contributions to the rock scene, I think they belong in the Hall, as well as several others who have been repeatedly mentioned in this thread. My personal number one choice would be Neil Diamond for the length, quality, and diversity of his contributions.

I've never thought of Neil Diamond as a rock star. A pop star, yes, but never a rock star.

Not a fan of Diamond's but he will get in. He also wrote "I'm a Believer & Little Bit Me" for the Monkees and "Kentucky Woman" for Deep Purple before his solo career took off.

I remember Bon Jovi saying a few years back that he wouldnt go into the HOF until Kiss is in it, we will see if he holds up to his word on that.

Is MJ a rock star? Or a lot of other people in the hall?
