the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame

well earlier i posted about the moody blues and got many opinions. most were for inclusion. how about the guess who? my opinion is great songwriting and musicianship/singing. many top 10 songs and most of their classic songs are still fun to listen to. if you had a chance to see the guess who or alice cooper what would the choice be? i vote in. thanks

And to cite the wit and wisdom of the Dictators once again, too many of 'em are just "careering in the industry", or trying to.
