[JetSetRadi0]

The list:
RHCP -Yes
Deep Purple - Maybe
Alice Cooper -Yes
Metallica -Yes
Megadeth -Yes
Anthrax -Maybe
Slayer -Maybe
Iron Maiden -Yes
Judas Priest -Yes
Radiohead -No
Rush -Yes
Yes -Maybe
Genesis -Maybe
Alice In Chains -No
Pearl Jam -No
Soundgarden -No
Nirvana -No
Guns N Roses -No (at least not yet)
KISS -Yes
Beck -Maybe
The Cure -Yes
Nine Inch Nails -Yes
The Pixies -No
Stevie Ray Vaughn -Yes
Weezer -No
The White Stripes -No
Boston -Yes
Heart -Maybe
Journey -Yes
Bon Jovi -Yes
Blink-182 -No
Green Day -Yes
Def Leppard -Maybe
Stone Temple Pilots -No
Beastie Boys -No
Linkin Park -No
Live -No
Nickelback -No

Backstreet Boys -No
Meat Loaf -Maybe
Motley Crue -Maybe
Poison -No
Blue Oyster Cult -Yes
Foo Fighters -Yes
Devo -No
Spinal Tap -No
"Wierd" Al Yankovic -No


Yes = All the bands I believe are popular enoung, had/have enough hits, and were influential enough. (not saying all of them are qualified in all areas, but close enough for me to put them in) Some bands like Foo Fighters and Green Day I'd be iffy on if their careers ended right now, but they're arguably 2 of the biggest bands of the 90s, who are still churning out music people enjoy.

Maybe = I recgonize the bands contributions, but don't know them well enough to personally judge, or counldn't affirmatively decide one way or the other.

No = Simply I don't think they belong at this moment, and don't forsee a change in my opinion.

Anything I left off from the OP's list was something I've never heard/only heard a few songs and again couldn't really judge at all.

Rush is being criminally ignored by the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.

Deep Purple - yes, very innovative, brought metal into the mainstream, pretty much invented speed metal
Alice Cooper - yes, the one who brought shock rock into popularity and made it big
Metallica - no, just not consistent enough, esp. with any post-black album albums
Megadeth - yes, stayed very consistent and still put out good music

Bluesbreakers - John Mayall, yes, the Bluesbreakers, only if they follow in with Mayall

Guns N Roses - no, basically a one-album wonder

"Weird" Al Yankovic - no, yes he is very good, but I just don't see how he can get in

Hey a21, do you now disagree with anything you said back you first posted here?

only Soundgarden

[VanillaMummy]

The fact that Alice Cooper isn't in the Hall of Fame is the greatest flub in its history. Accourding to him its all politics and the people involved don't personally like him.

[Crackerdamus101]
