I can see an argument why bands like Foreigner and Styx are not in, despite having MANY great songs and selling tens of millions of albums. But there is no reason the Foo Fighters should be in, let alone in their first year of eligibility.

What is the argument for Foreigner and Styx not being in? I get that many may not like them but that’s a different discussion.

It's hard to articulate, but some people consider their music generic, corporate/formulaic, and not really influential to other artists. Lyrically, they didn't SAY something, i.e., political, but played it safe. I would disagree with those as criteria for enshrinement, and I think it's arguable whether much of that was even true.

I don't know if Boston should get in on one loaded album, but Foo Fighters got in on one song, well, hey, nothing matters. May as well induct Carly Rae Jepsen next year.

Best song in history

Kudos to Dolly Parton for removing her name from the list of nominees of 2022. She basically asked why the fuck am I even on the ballot....something MANY other non-rock acts should have considered over the years.

But enough about the Foo Fighters. What's keeping Foreigner out?

True enough.
