Spoken like a true non-playing motherfucker with only one or two sorry-ass albums out.

Huh?. I think he made some good points, no matter what you think of him and his music.

used his onstage acceptance speech to tactfully allude to the Rock Hall’s opaque nomination process and poor track record on inducting women.
Backstage, he unleashed more of his feelings.

No, he definitely made good points; I just can't resist quoting Miles' autobio whenever Steve Miller is mentioned.

Made the mistake of reading comments on the Gene Simmons comments on rap/NWA response at the HOF induction.
I can't believe there are still so many shitty people actively angry about the existence of rap.

So I guess Pearl Jam, Tupac, Journey, Steppenwolf, Bad Brains, Depeche Mode, ELO, Jane's Addiction and Joan Baez are this year's first timers added to the stand-by list? Awesome. Someone should devise a formula that determines the exact year in the future when every single act will have been admitted.

Smashing Pumpkins snubbed again

Will BOC ever get in?

Well, Twoism is from 95, so there's four years until they're eligible. Who knows?

Blue Oyster Cult getting snubbed is beyond stupid. Far better than so many bands in the HoF. Thing that's so odd to me is that they aren't like, for example, Can or some band like that who should be in but aren't that well known in mainstream circles, BOC has a handful of deathless FM classic rock hits that still get played to this day.

I'm just shocked that Dave Krusen and Matt Cameron are the only 2 Pearl Jam drummers deemed eligible for inclusion. They didn't play on their best albums!

Yeah! And the reason the best band isn't in it is because Spirit They've Gone, Spirit They've Vanished is from 2000.
