I wonder what finally moved them to include ELO, I mean they're way too late on that one in my opinion. Maybe not ELO so much as Jeff Lynne personally, I know the HOF often distinguishes individuals instead. 

 

All the other Traveling Wilburys were pretty legendary, it seemed like the HOF must have had a grudge against Lynne.

Yeah, Lynne was (arguably) the most deserving/influential person not in the HOF for quite some time.  Besides ELO and the Traveling Wilburys, he was a pretty important producer and song writer, as well.

And a producer for many musicians in the HOF. All the Wilbury's are in the HOF and absolute musical legends yet it is was Lynne who produced all the music. I've never read anything anywhere but it just seems like him being snubbed all this time was not an accident.

 

Anyway, bygones and whatnot, good for him.

The Cars not getting in is a joke.
Happy for ELO, long overdue.

 

Agree with The Cars, but I'd bet they'll get in soon. They might have been the most influential band in the push towards that 80's synthetic sound. Which in many circles is probably viewed as a bad thing. My money is on time prevailing though.

Few things in this world are less rock-and-roll than halls of fame.

Elliot Easton don't need no Rock n Roll HOF.

 

ELO was a good band and Jeff Lynne is a talented dude. His production work is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me though, he manages to make every artist he produces have that same, homogenised Jeff Lynne sound, I can't stand it.

I'm pretty meh about the Rock and Roll HOF, but Pearl Jam is by far my all time favorite band and there's not a close second. A fusion of The Who and Grateful Dead with some other great characteristics sprinkled in.

 

The came around at the perfect age for me, I don't have the capacity to rationally debate this.

People who should be in a "Rock n' Roll" HOF, include Lemmy Kilmister, Ian MaCay, Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, and last, but not least Glenn Danzig.

 

All of these guys would deem that award nonsense. It's a sham and does not mean anything.
