Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2026 Nominees

[BrAinPaiNt]

Punk and metal, if influential bands, should be in there without a doubt.

 

[Hardline]

Why...just because Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for Best Hard Rock/ Metal Performance ?

Metal should have its own Hall of Fame.

 

[VaqueroTD]

If Rap bands can get in....better let metal and punk in.

They named it wrong. Should have just called it Music Hall of Fame.

Ding Ding Ding

great band, loved their 80s dance hit ''Answer the Door, Stewart'' .

 

[triplets_93]

I like Phil Collins and Sade.

 

[Blackrain]

The Rock and Roll HoF is a joke. There are so many bands/entertainers in the hall that are just average to unknown.

100% true statement not to mention they have nothing to do with rock and roll.

There should be a music hall of fame that would cover it all but if you're just talking about rock and roll keep it to rock and roll.

They don't put soccer players in Canton even though they're both called football

 

[Blackrain]

Rap bands shouldn't get in either. Motown and Blues are allowed.

The only thing rap bands should be used for as a substitute for the test for the national broadcast system.
Just slightly better than that horrible hum and let you know that the whole world is about to go to spit.

Lol
Sorry but that rap gives me a headache

 

[big dog cowboy]

Great opening guitar riff.

 

[timb2]

I'd vote in Billy Idol,INXS,New Order

 

[zrinkill]

Alice in Chains is not.

Insanity that they are not.

Queensrÿche

Definitely also should be.

...and then there's country rap or c-rap.

 

[shabazz]

They named it wrong. Should have just called it Music Hall of Fame.

The day they inducted rappers like Missy Elliot into it, it became irrelevant and contrived.

We can debate punk, rockabilly, metal, and other genres that have always fallen under the Rock & Roll umbrella bit we all know the truth.

Rap and Pop are NOT Rock......they are the antithesis of rock

Janet Jackson and Tupac? Really?

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I like a lot of old school rap and some of the newer stuff.

But like someone said. It is the rock and roll hall of fame.

Not sure if rap has its own hall of fame. I think country does.

But they need a Music Hall of Fame for all if the want all included.

I do not feel that the Music that the Yardbirds created, made them worthy of being inducted into the RRHOF. Yes, the guitarists went on to have fame after the Yardbirds, worthy of an Induction to the RRHOF. But the Yardbirds being selected for the RRHOF is a Joke.

But the Biggest Joke of the RRHOF, is that bands like these are ignored:

Grand Funk Railroad
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jethro Tull
Devo
Ted Nugent
Alice In Chains
Stone Temple Pilots

 

[Runwildboys]

Melissa Etheridge has some really, really good music. She's earned a place, IMO.

agree with the really good music but earned a spot in a hall of fame for it, nah. there are multiple artists from the ''lilith fair sound'' that i'd put in before her however, at the same time, she could be considered a grandmother of that sound.
