"The 2012 inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have just been announced.
The Moodies get stiffed again.
Somebody 'splain this to me."
My understanding is the choices are made by the R&R HOF proprietors and is highly biased accordingly. Evidence indicates they do not like anything in teh R&R HOF that strays too far from American roots type music. British Progressive or classical styled rock acts have little chance it seems. I think Genesis made it in last year finally but they have little company from other famous "prog" rock acts so far. I think Floyd made it in a while back maybe.
The whole thing is just wrong so I try not to get too upset.
