I'm glad to see Nirvana and Peter Gabriel finally going in. I'd still like to see alot of others go in though. Here's the article.

I'm happy that my favorite band of all time is finally getting in, simply because it is long overdue, but at the same time, I almost don't even give a crap anymore. This "hall of fame" is nothing more than a privately run organization and because of that, it is still 100% based on personal opinion. In a lot of ways (and there are many examples of this), it really doesn't seem to take into account the true influence, album sales, tenure in the industry, etc of many of artists. It's a popularity contest with a bunch of snotty assholes who are self-proclaimed 'experts' in the industry.



All in all, the RnR Hall of Sham has been a joke for many years. While so many deserving artists are bypassed year after year and so many others with such a weak resume get in all of the time just makes it all the more evident how bad this organization really is.

It's nice to see the underrated and seldom-seen-in-the-spotlight Peter Gabriel getting recognized.
