8 bands who continue to be snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Album sales and charts, I imagine. Also, probably add in opinions of their peers and technical music experts.

Based on album sales the Ramones would never have made it to the HOF. Music is a tough one I’m thinking.

For sure. I was just transitioning from pop to rock when that first album hit and it is one of the first albums I spent my paper route money on. I agree that if you're going to put Joan Jett in you have to put Boston in. Alice in Chains, as well. "My" R&R HoF would be more exclusive and longevity would be a factor, though.

You might be able to talk me into Boston because of the groundbreaking stuff Scholtz did, though. Maybe.

Ya at the rate they are inducting people wont be long until almost everyone is in. I can't wait, Poison for RRHOF 2029.

The only problem I have with Boston is that, to me, most of their songs sound pretty much the same.

I like Boston, but a truer description of their music was never made.

I never understood why people get mad when other genres get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Yeah, I get that it's called rock & roll, but rock has always been more than just a sound. It’s a movement, an energy, a rebellion that shaped the future of music. It helped give birth to other genres and inspired countless artists. The Hall of Fame isn’t just about a specific genre; it’s about influence, impact, and legacy. If an artist has shaped music, redefined what’s possible, or inspired generations, they belong there.

Green Day is quite a kick azz band no doubt.

Green Day belongs in the dumpster.

 

[Hardline]

No one ever mentions Tool

Danny Carey alone should put them in the RRHOF

The Biggest RRHOF snub is Grand Funk Railroad.
Heavy Metal should have its own HOF

The only other genre's of music that belongs in RRHOF is blues and Motown.
