The whole process makes no sense to me.

 

"To be eligible for the Hall of Fame an individual artist or band must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination."

 

So why was it the first year on the ballot for Whitney Houston, Doobie Brothers, and T-Rex?

 

This was the ballot:

    Pat Benatar
    Dave Matthews Band
    Depeche Mode
    The Doobie Brothers
    Whitney Houston
    Judas Priest
    Kraftwerk
    MC5
    Motörhead
    Nine Inch Nails
    The Notorious B.I.G.
    Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
    Todd Rundgren
    Soundgarden
    T. Rex
    Thin Lizzy

 

Not sure why T-Rex (Get It On/Bang a Gong) got in over Pat Benatar, Dave Matthews Band, Soundgarden to name a few.

It's because it's a process to get to the final ballot, that's why it was the Doobie Brothers first time, even though it's obviously been well past 25 years.

 

I agree TRex is a joke. Solid band, nowhere near HOF to me.

 

Thin Lizzy not being in is a joke, I don't understand that one. Just like I didn't understand why it took the Cars so long.

People don't actually take this stuff seriously.......do they?

 

The list of bands not considered HOF worthy could arguably be more impressive than the ones actually in there, lol. 

 

The whole idea of it is absurd.
