This is a sad list.

Dave Clark Five
The Ventures
Leonard Cohen
Afrika Bambaataa
Beastie Boys
Donna Summer
Chic
John Mellencamp
Madonna

Do the math.......................only 3 or 4 of them played rock. There is the Material pop star, and 2 hip/hop rap groups. The other 2 are disco..........

Again Rush gets snubbed for trash.

Oh my goodness! At first I thought you meant they did have a hall of shame and I was wondering why the Dave Clark Five were there, but then it hit me.

THESE ARE THE HALL OF FAMEers?!?!!?

If you grew up in the 80's, how could you not love the Beasties

Cuz I am a rocker and a hair metal kind of guy. Beasties don't fit that.

Still, to have them hacks in before RUSH is a f-in joke to the genre.

Dave Clark 5? Meh.
The Ventures? Influential. The get a yes from me
Leonard Cohen? WHO?
Afrika Bambaataa? Yes, he was an influence
The Beasties? Over Rush? This is a snub.
Donna Summer? Meh.
Chic? Yes- they merit a nod.
John Mellencamp? Early 80's rock would have a huge void without him, so yes
Madonna? Thats a toughie- if it were 5 years from now and she had retired from performing music to direct movies or produce other musicians I would say yes. Now? Not quite.

Ummmm....

they just didn't fit in well with Priest and Dio and Megadeth. I couldn't take them seriously at all. Sorry, just me.
