I may be way off base here but I have a theory on this.
The "Powers that be" save out some of the Big name Groups/Artists for future inductions to have something to fall back on(Show). I know it sounds 1/2 ass but thats the way I see it.
Rush&alot of other bands probly don't give 2 shits about being in there,Just another Award. It's more for the fans.
Living 50mi away from the place I only set foot in there once,Was alright but I didn't see what the big deal was,Ya see the same thing more or less if ya go to any Hard Rock Cafe.
One major problem with that theory, TPTB can't hold back those big name bands/artists for future induction ceremonies forever because they'll all be dead at the rate they're inducting 'em, so there would be no show, 2 members of ELO have already passed since 2/19/2009!
Oh and I do not like Rush or Heart, but congratulations to Randy Newman and Donna Summer!
