BREAKING NEWS: Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Class of 2011

2010-12-15T17:59:00.000-08:00

Inductees are:

Alice Cooper
Neil Diamond
Dr. John

Darlene Love
Tom Waits

While that's great, here are some people who deserve to make it (if they're not eligible yet with the 25 year rule, then they're not here, otherwise, Nirvana, Public Enemy, and Guns N' Roses would be at the top!!!!)

Chicago
Rush
Iron Maiden
The Beastie Boys* *(Who were nominated this year)
Donna Summer*
Chic*
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Roxy Music
KISS
Devo
The Misfits
Frank Sinatra (Early Influence, At Least)

Why not just add some classic composers too? Motzart and Beethoven did have a major influence over modern music.

Joe Tex
Captain Beefheart
The Crystals
Deepeche Mode
The Doobie Brothers
Deep Purple
Def Leppard
The Monkees
T. Rex
MC5
Pearl Jam

Oh ho ho and many more.

Also, at some point, i feel that KoRn and Radioheadshould definitley be inducted, and Linkin Park and Oasis have had some influence as well. And Dr. Dre and Rick Rubin should be in as non-performers, with Ice-T and Dio at least getting nominated.

I don't condone the use of the words fag or faggot, but of these rappers are in support of gay rights so fine. Not totally okay, but whatever.

Also, the best production of a rap song that I've ever heard since Rick Rubin.
