After having read the "more about the inductees" blurb I can honestly say that most of these names make sense for induction. All, except for one glaring exception. Why the hell is Run D.M.C., a hip hop group, being inducted into a hall of fame centered around rock and roll. There is nothing (NOTHING!) about Run DMC that makes me think rock n roll. What retarded crack monkey decided to put these guys on the list. Granted, yes they were pioneers in the hip hop genre. Hip hop, NOT rock n roll. Want them in a hall of fame? Make a hip hop hall of fame. Put them there. Inducting Run DMC into the rock n roll hall of fame makes about as much sense as starting a hip hop hall of fame and inducting, oh I dunno...... Alice Cooper. Or how about Megadeth? See my point here? It just doesn't work. Doesn't fit.
Speaking of Alice Cooper..... Why the hell hasn't he been inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame yet? They let in Micheal Jackson a few years back. Madonna last year. Run DMC this year. But no-ones called Alice up yet? Me thinks someone should explain to these clowns the definition of Rock n Roll.

I'll be honest - these days, its like the Hollywood walk of fame where TV people are being given stars and people who aren't even really part of the industry.
Its all about money and ratings and tourism. I would think that most real artists would actually be insulted to be inducted at this point.
Madonna isn't rock either, she's pop and so is Pedo Jackson. The list goes on and on...
Its all become a parody of itself, a complete and total fallacy designed for the pseudo-interested and their senseless dropping of names as well as other people's dollars.
