Who the hell decides on those in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
And how do they decide?

Because The Moody Blues, ELO and Heart aren't in it! :grr:

1. I wish they would rename it to what it truly is
The Mass-Produce crap music Hall-of-Fame.

12. That's pretty much what "Hall of Fame" means in any field.
They don't call it the "Hall of Skill and Talent." Often skill and talent wind up there, but it certainly isn't a requirement.

I'll be happy until Rush gets in, then I can turn my back on it. :)

6. At least they sell beer at the 7-11 here
Say what you want about 'sucky' Virginia - at least I can get a Mickey's when I feel like it.

8. Ian Wenner and a tribe of baboons in Yemen
That's the only way I can explain why Abba and Billy Joel are in and Joy Division and The Cure are not.

10. Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Fältskog
Honestly, that's the only way it can be explained.
