I'm not losing sleep over it.

c'mon LL Cool J????

Don't call it a comeback??? RLY?

I don't think he should be in either....

but how in the fuck do Kiss,RHCP,and Donna Summer not get in

ABBA over Kiss. The Hall has become a joke.

why is LL even in consideration for the ROCK and ROLL hof lol?

I mean im a huge supporter of hip hop but....yeah this isnt the HOF for him

What are the general criteria for consideration to R&RHF??? Any idea??? Who's deciding this stuff?

How the hell does KISS not get in? Saw them the other night and those guys can still bring it!

One of them is Twenty years as a band.

Years as a Band: 20; KISS: 35....CHECK!

I think there is a too much make-up clause in there.

LOL Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The whole concept is pretty ludicrous.

Abba?

Until Rush gets in, the hof is a joke. Also rhcp should be a lock.

yeah ABBA is a head scratcher....

Out of Billboards top 500 artists Kiss is rated #46 and ABBA #274

so I guess how many records you've sold doesn't matter either?

Deep Purple
KISS
Rush

Those should be top 3 to get in every year, I like RHCP but to be considered already is a bit early for them and LL COOL J to be in with those names of bands who havent made it is a complete disgrace.

Ok 25 years after release of first album they are considered.

some more ratings
Genesis---#129
Chantels??????
Hollies----410
Jimmy Cliff---????
LL Cool J----248
Red Hot Chilli peppers---331
Bon Jovi----????
Donna Summers-----137

Mamma Mia > Phantom of the Park
Case closed.

Yeah ok Phantom of the Park was pretty lame but still......

and once again, no Moody Blues!! :@

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

So true. Rush deserves it.

Rush and Def Leppard are the two most deserving that are not in yet.
