NWA?????????????????WTF In my opinion Gregg Allman says it well, rap is spelled with silent "C", That shit should not be classified with or be anywhere close to this Hall, let them built there own damn place if they want too. Thanks For Letting me get on my soapbox here...
Get taken off the nomination ballot? I don't see why they would. And even if they did say they disagree with it, they basically seal them not getting voted in. Easy solution.Quote

What would happen if a nominee would say no?

Didn't they have a gold (color) album in the seventies ? Also remember their classic song "Bad Tme to be in love" - not sure of the title.

Cheap Trick are certainly deserving. I can remember hunting down the Budokan LP on import when I was in high school because Epic didn't release it in the states at first. They are still a fine band with all the original members (albeit without Bun E. Carlos live. Can't tour due to health issues. Very nice man.). They still have their chops & then some. I certainly think (this one will be a little controversial) Nine Inch Nails is deserving, too. Trent Reznor is a pioneer & continues to put out amazing music. The last NIN tour was stunning both audibly & visually. I would love to see the Flaming Lips get in. Another band that just continues to get better. Probably too much of a cult thing though. + not from NYC. That seems to be a big factor.

The R n' R H.O.F. started out with what I thought was supposedly good intentions. I was part of the original voting committee and was the person who started and did the very first video presentation at the very first award ceremony in 1986 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC.(Don't get me started on that).
But the more and more as the years went on the more I felt this was not as much as about people and artist that deserve to be part of "Rock n Roll" hall of fame but record labels getting their artist who have been around with a hit record for at least 25 years, whether they had anything to do with Rock n Roll or not. Also the seriousness in picking the final 8 to be at the award show seemed to diminish as the years went by. I have heard many crazy stories on the way the final got or did not get a vote and it had nothing to do with merit. I dropped out of being on the voting committee many years ago.
Putting the R n' R H.O.F. museum in Cleveland has its good points and a couple not so good points. But I would recommend a visit to there if your "ever in" Cleveland,. There's more to say but I'm stopping here

Deep Purple is a bigger deal to the Brits. For Americans, they're basically just the band that put out Smoke on the Water.
