Interesting and I wonder why it is that so many of 'rock royalty' jostle for position to get themselves 'inducted' or perhaps, it's just for the unsuspecting fans. I watched Led Zeppelin's 'induction' on YouTube recently and thought it was a cringe fest worthy of vomiting bone marrow. I got to wondering how the likes of Jimmy Page & Robert Plant could possibly sit through that kind of thing.. :shrug:
I have been (15 years ago) and there are some interesting exhibits, but it is a marketing operation. When they started inducting rap "artists" it was obvious that they were pandering to a demographic that they felt they were not reaching.
When the Moody Blues are not inducted it is pretty good proof that electioneering and politics determine the selections.
I'm a lifelong fan of RUSH so I couldn't resist watching thier induction. Guitarist Alex Lifeson summed it up in his acceptance 'speach' - one for the ages.

Well, it took until Wednesday before I finally got curious, and actually opened up this thread (Sorry Keith), and it was the highlight of my weekday lunches in the watching a sequence of YouTube videos of/about one of my favorite bands...Rush!.
