Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2026 Nominees

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

I agree with most of those, but Jethro Tull...nope.

Really? Jethro Tull are a great band. They should never have gotten the Best Heavy Metal Album, or whatever it was, but it's not their fault they were miscategorized.

The prog rock they've always played is brilliant, 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.

I'm not sure what "Lilith Fair Sound" is, but she was a rocker, when she first came on the scene. Her music did mellow out over time, but as one of the first openly gay women in rock, she opened a lot of doors.

Just never cared for them. Not Hall of Fame worthy.

I would vote for Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, and Iron Maiden. The rest are mostly crap (INXS and Idol are kind of ok) and nowhere close to HOF worthy.

Maybe I’m confused on the rules, but why would Mariah Carey be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? She’s an amazing artist, but not rock and roll. Lots of people on that list aren’t.
