	I know, its a subjective list. Musicians that I almost put on here are bonus answers instead.

	"Roundabout" is misspelled. Also, could you accept "ELP" for Emerson, Lake and Palmer?

	burningriver:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 04:16 GMT		1 point
	done. good catches, thanks.

	Rush needs to be admitted immediately , along with mostly everyone on this list

	dxman:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 04:35 GMT		4 points
	Bon Jovi and Dire Straits need to be on this list (and I don't particularly like either band).

	dxman:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 04:52 GMT		0 points
	Steve Miller Band needs to be on here too.

	dxman:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 04:53 GMT		0 points
	And Peter Frampton.

	burningriver:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 05:08 GMT		1 point
	Some changes have been made

	I love how the Red Hot Chili Peppers are included! They definently deserve to be there.

	dxman:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 05:16 GMT		1 point
	Add Kansas and Grand Funk Railroad

	Poor Randy Bachman! He was a major force in the first band in each column, and he's still not in the HOF. (Note: 24 bonus answers!)

	Chicago should be on the quiz and they're not even a bonus answer!?!?

	I'm also not too broken up about any of these people not being in. I'd say you might add the Smiths, Joy Division, Tom Waits, the Jam, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, Nick Drake, Big Star, Kraftwerk, the Hollies.

	johnlk:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 14:23 GMT		3 points
	@OnOnUofK - yeah, it's a much greater honor to be grouped with Foreigner and Journey than the Ramones.

	Deep Purple being snubbed year after year from the Hall is a disgrace.

	pepperg:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 17:08 GMT		5 points
	the whole "hall of fame" is a disgrace. run by people who obviously have no idea of what rock n roll is.

	PublicEnemy:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 17:19 GMT		1 point
	Steve Miller Band should definitely be in the hall of fame.

	hibernia:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 17:36 GMT		3 points
	the fact that Rush, KISS and Deep Purple aren't in should be considered sins. Rush is one of the most influential bands of all-time. (Seriously, I'm always amazed at the number of musicians who list Rush as an influence.) KISS is, well, KISS. How you can you deny the effect they had on rock'n'roll? And Deep Purple only made the Epiphany of Rock'N'Roll famous. That's all.

	the holy triumvirate

	RLthehammer:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 18:01 GMT		2 points
	I agree with just about every artist you mentioned, especially Deep Purple,Rush. Any guitarist knows the riff from "Smoke on the Water". Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead should be in too. Metallica doesn't exist with out them. James Hetfield said so much last year when Metallica was inducted.

	Venom1989:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 18:14 GMT		5 points
	I totally agree!Iron Maiden has so many great albums.When Number of the Beast came out it revived metal.

	Deep Purple and Rush strike me as the two that prove beyond a doubt that the panel arbitrarily snubs bands and genres that they don't like. I mean, where would Heavy Metal, Prog Rock and Hard Rock in general be without those two bands? And on top of that both bands are tremendously talented and have maintained popularity over the course of decades. But nope, never even nominated.

	JohnJF:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 00:10 GMT		2 points
	One major band that I would put it right away is T. Rex. Chart power and influence isn't all that high in the US, but they influenced quite a bit of British rock, particularly the Britpop movement. I mean, Foreigner was quite popular but who was actually influenced by them?

	ileggin:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 00:29 GMT		0 points
	With Genesis finally being inducted this year, there may be hope for some of the best prog-rock groups, such as Rush and Yes. I think the Cars have a chance, mostly because of their influence on modern groups like Fall Out Boy and Weezer.

	alltheway2eleven:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 00:35 GMT		8 points
	ALICE COOPER!

	pita:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 02:05 GMT		1 point
	So apparently from the comments the major criteria is how influential they are?

	SlowHandEC88:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 02:18 GMT		1 point
	A lot of crappy hair bands on this list. In my opinion they don't deserve to be in the hall of fame. There was no originality. They all looked and sounded exactly the same. In time most of these bands will wind up getting in as the pickings get slimmer.

	nvpacchi:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 03:21 GMT		-3 points
	The Chili Peppers are not even eligible to make the Rock Hall yet, they have to wait 25 years after the debut of their first album.

	bernerd:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 03:47 GMT		4 points
	Uh, nvpacchi, I think you need to check your facts before you write buddy. RHCP's first album was released over 25 years ago.

	raggedyanne:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 05:12 GMT		4 points
	Johnlk, The Hollies were inducted this year.

	scoonman:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 12:13 GMT		4 points
	I love Chrissie Hynde, always have, always will, and even my wife knows that. That being said, the fact that The Pretenders were selected for induction into the Hall of Fame, (ON THEIR FIRST YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY, NO LESS!) while more worthy groups like Yes, Rush, ELP and Jethro Tull are not included is a crime.

	scoonman:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 12:15 GMT		7 points
	I was with my family the other day and a Cars song came on the radio and it hit me then how great and underrated they were. They should be in as well. Its only too bad Ben Orr passed away.

	jnb987:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 16:06 GMT		5 points
	@nvpacchi RHCP is not only eligible, they were among the nominees this year. I thought they'd be a lock this year, but as the eligibility pool is pretty weak until 2016 (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc) I think the HOF is setting itself up to clear up a lot of these backlogged omissions. No chance they don't get in in the next few years.
