I was in Cleveland for a wedding and we needed to kill a few hours. I asked about the HOF and several people told me to avoid it. Expensive to get in and its boring as hell. |

And jimmypasta has a point about Paul Revere. If you're gonna have this stupid thing, how could they not be in it? If all they ever did was "Kicks" that should be enough. |

Incredible If you're ever near Newcastle, Indiana, the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame is awesome. Very old school. Artifacts and exhibits rather than a bunch of interactive crap for brain dead Millennials who have to touch everything. leash would probably hate it. |

Nile Rodgers should protest having his name associated with the place. |

Crystal Lake Hoffy wrote: Pearl Jam wasn't even the best band of their era. I'm not sure that would matter. Many bands/people of the same era can get in. That would be like The HOF saying, "Sorry Beatles, The Rolling Stones are already in the HOF. Tough luck for you guys that you weren't the best of your era". BTW, Pearl Jam sucks, but your statement is still not right. |

Vedder's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Almost as bad as Dylan. |

Come on, now. Yes is certainly one of the greatest prog-rock bands. If you're going to have something as dumb as a hall of fame for rock they definitely deserve to be in there. They're far greater than Journey. Sure we made fun of them in our little punk rock bands, but deep down we all wished we could play like them. |

It seems the RRHOF has changed in recent years. They are letting in groups/people now that are not the requisite Rolling Stone darlings only. I re watched the Rush induction speech by Dave Grohl and he even said fuck you Rolling Stone pretty much. Maybe it is a good thing he is on the board. Yes may not be everyone's bag but they had songs on radio and were highly technically proficient. ELO while catchy was just studio candy blah but Lynne is very connected. I think some people are troubled by the definitions the RRHOF uses as well. Whether it is because they do not understand the importance of early blues men or why the Supremes or Tupac are in seems to confuse some. |

Is this thing run like the Hollywood walk of fame? Where you get a star, as long as you make a large donation and pay for the star and its installation? |
