Seriously Grandmaster Flash is in the Hall of Fame, but they missed all these great groups?
Why is a Global Hall of Fame located in, of all places, Cleveland, Ohio ?
I would have thought London, or Los Angeles, or even Atlanta. Who picked Cleveland,Ohio and why ? Even Americans don't want to move there.
AHAHAHA!Boston only had about three hits.
How about if I DON'T agree...If you agree, name all of their hits.
75,000 records? Try over 100 MILLION records. Close, but no cigar. 44 years? Try 41. First album came out 41 yrs ago next month. By the way, KISS has more gold albums than any other American recording artist and are second only to the Beatles.KISS was loved by many but does not appeal to me. In 44 years they have sold only 75,000 records. Not even close to the top of the list
AHAHAHA!
EVERY single song on their debut album still gets radio play to this day. Half of the songs on their second album still get radio play to this day. Third Stage had 5 hits (again, half of the album) of which at least 3 were in the Top 20, two in the Top 10 and one was a #1 hit.
Boston's debut album has sold over 25 million copies and is one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
How about if I DON'T agree...
Name their hits:
More Than A Feeling
Peace of Mind
Long Time
Rock & Roll Band
Smokin'
Don't Look Back
A Man I'll Never Be
Feelin' Satisfied
Amanda
We're Ready
Cool the Engines
Can'tcha Say / Still in Love

KISS was highly influential in ways I can only assume you don't even comprehend. The list of of bands that have opened for KISS over the years is amazing. The list of artists that have pointed at KISS and said things like "if it wasn't for them, I'd never have picked up a guitar" (or something similar), there are people in the RnR HOF that have cited KISS as influences to them. KISS redefined the stage show unlike no band before or after them. KISS was the first band to start using wireless instruments on stage.
Them not appealing to you isn't a very good reason to keep them out. Love 'em or hate 'em, they are definitely deserving of their admission to the rock hall. Unfortunately the shitstains that run that place still had to **** with the band by only letting in the original 4 members, which is an absolute joke. Grateful Dead and all 13 of their members are in. Every member of the Eagles is in . Every member of the Yardbirds is in. The list goes on... yet they completely had to **** with KISS in only letting in 4 guys that they knew full well didn't get along anymore (but that's another topic entirely).
KISS totally deserves to be there. Boston? I'm not so sure. What they did on those first three albums was incredible. Not sure how overly influential they are in the grand scheme of things. Of course, i'd put in Boston over a good 20 or more artists that are already in.

Also, I don't think that Gordon Lighfoot is in the RARHOF. But I'm not sure that you can consider that rock.
