Tupac Shakur fucking really? Pearl Jam and Nirvana both in before Alice i Chains and Soundgargen pure BS!!!! Atleast Yes is getting in to bad Chris Squire passed away in '15 and didn't get to see it.
and why is that? What Nirvana do besides Nevermind or Ten from Pearl Jam it's real awesome that bands get in due to record sells alone.I'm a huge AIC fan, they do not deserve to get in before PJ or Nirvana. They probably will never get in tbh

Paved the way for others pffft Soundgarden had three albums out before Nevermind took off. AIC was out touring with big named band while Nirvana was stuck doing club tours. Facelift was the first "grunge" album to go platinum and first one to make it into the top 50 on the billboard top 200. Nobody expected Nevermind to do shit not the band and not the record label and if it wasn't for school kids it wouldn't have.I think nirvana over AIC simply cause they were the first big "grunge" band and paved the way for others. Pearl jam simply because they are more popular.
I would love to see AIC get the love they deserve, I just don't think they will.
As for sound garden, they suck and are overrated imo. Badmotorfinger had some good songs and super unknown was ok but what do they have after that? Down on the upside was brutal.
I have no ideal to be honest maybe so bands could get a bit more recognition they deserve like when Cream, The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, or when Blues guys get in like Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf , and Muddy Waters.You cannot comprehend how little fucks I give about the rock and roll hall of fame.
Why do you even care?

I understand Blues guys getting in due to the fact most of the big rock band from the 60's and 70's were doing Rock due to guys like Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Elmore James, and T-Bone Walker. Even with guys like Hank William and Johnny Cash they influenced people in Rock too show me a Rock band that was influenced by Tupac, NWA, or Madonna.The Rock n Roll HOF is a joke tbh...
I went to the original concert, which was cool...And have been to the HOF 2x...But it is supposed to be Rock n Roll HOF, not Music HOF...There are so many bands that should have been inducted years ago, and many still are not...

How in the fuck do Bon Jovi get in before the Cure or Joy Division? SMH.
Probably because of album sales and fan votes. That and they hate British 80s alternative bands. If Joy Division gets in, it will probably be inducted as New Order & Joy Division sort of like Small Faces/Faces and Parliament/FunkadelicHow in the fuck do Bon Jovi get in before the Cure or Joy Division? SMH.
Pearl Jam was the first big Grunge band not Nirvana. By late 1991 Pearl Jam was selling out or nearly selling out arena's while Nirvana was still playing in much smaller venues and clubs. The only reason everyone talks about Nirvana being the face of Grunge is because of Kurt Cobain's sucide. If Kurt hadn't of died and was still alive today I don't think Nirvana would be as big as they are. Almost all of Nirvana's massive popularity came after Kurt's death.I think nirvana over AIC simply cause they were the first big "grunge" band and paved the way for others.

Look how long it took for Black Sabbath to get in. Iron Maiden, Motorhead and Judas Priest aren't even in the HOF yet which is a travesty. Metallica got in and during his speech James Hetfield went off on them for not inducting some of the forefathers of Heavy Metal.Rock and Roll Hall of Fame hates post punk and new wave music. Not one of the groups to choose from The Smiths, The Cure, Kraftwerk, New Order/Joy Division, Depeche Mode, etc have gotten in yet we see almost every rap group getting in or 70s revival group in the form of grunge getting in.
At this rate Blind Melon will get in before The Smiths.
