My thoughts over the years have been that the Rock and Roll hall of Fame was a Joke.  I know everyone has different taste in music but this is Rock and Roll...Not Disco, Not Pop, Not Country...Rock and Roll.

 

I know everyone has different taste but to induct the likes of  ABBA, Wanda Jackson, Run DMC, Herb Albert, Floyd Cramer...All over RUSH.

 

You have to admit either it's politics or a joke, Either way, to me it does not hold true to the spirit of ROCK and ROLL

It always amazed me how close to Hendrix he is.  These two songs played side to side are eerily Hendrix

True, but to the artists I'm sure some appreciate the acknowledgement.
