Yeah Deep Purple and Heart should be in there too imo.

Snofun3, Talent is in the eye of the beholder. That is why there is a vote. It is obvious you don't care for Rush and that's ok.

I like Heart as well but think Rush is more deserving. My biggest issue is with candidates that do not play rock being nominated. Don't they have a Pop, Jazz, and or Rap hall of fame?
I'm not going to argue who should be in or not but a nominee Like Freddie King will be put in the RNR hall of fame by the people who run it not the general public. Yeah the same people who argue that the RNR hall of fame board is a shill are the ones who will vote to count on them to induct Freddie King.
I'm stoked that the public is being allowed to vote for bands,and I don't even know what % a band has to have to get in but it is nice to correct some bands that have been long over looked. Freddie King will get a lot of votes from established musicians and his few fans but when he does get in it will be because he was appointed by the RNR board and the musicians in the hall who voted for him not the general public.Let's get real if you asked someone on the street who Freddie King was they would probably say no or isn't he a blues Guitarist who wrote The Thrill is Gone?
Sarcher30, by your narrow minded criteria Rush doesn't qualify for the R&R HOF either. Is there a Prog-Rock HOF?
Onhwy61, The operative word is rock. Sure there are many types of rock. I will concede that pinning down a genre can be difficult.
Anyone who would vote for Rush can't not think "Trailer Park Boys"is the best thing since sliced bread! Hold the ketchup.
