None of the following bands are/were nearly distinguished or influential enough to merit inclusion:

Run-D.M.C.
R.E.M.
The Talking Heads
Metallica

Run-D.M.C.
Madonna
The Sex Pistols
The Police
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Leonard Cohen

My list, compared to some great bands not in the HOF, these bands/artists are not deserving of the honor.

Deep Purple and Jethro Tull and Rush are Not in the HOF...how pathetic is that. They are more deserving than pretty much all the bands in your OP put together.:nw:

Well if given unlimited votes then I would've voted for everyone other than Metallica, The Stooges, P-Funk, The Velvet Underground, and The Sex Pistols.

The way I see it Blondie, The Talking Heads, R.E.M., and The Police have done nothing to warrant induction, at least not over all the other artists that are being ignored.

ABBA, Run-D.M.C., and Madonna are not rock music so shouldn't be inducted. Though, I will defend to the end of the Earth that Run-D.M.C. is the most influential and one of the greatest hip-hop groups in history and DO NOT SUCK, they just simply don't belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is all.

And I just flat out don't like Elvis Costello or U2.

That is the popular consensus among rock fans. The one that closely follows that is that country music sucks and I'm much more in that ballpark so let's just call it even. :D

Fair enough, although I have the entire genre of Rap/Hip Hop as the most banal genre in the history of music. It is just eminently boring to me.:D
