Agreed, but if you look at the RRHOF as a vehicle for recognising something done well I say "Go for it". Yes have done pretty well and given Millions of people a lot of pleasure over the years so a recognition of this type is long overdue.

The rock and roll hall of fame is a misnomer. Chubby Checker is in it, and he had exactly two hits:
1) The Twist
and amzingly enough
2) Let's Twist Again

Yeah well! The only thing I can say about this is the fact that Chubby Checker is probably in there on the votes of Orthopaedic surgeons who have gotten millions of dollars worth of work in hip replacements after Granny and Grandad have twisted themselves into oblivion at thousands of weddings.

The only thing it's good for is watching Axl Rose play with Elton John (snicker).

Elton singing Red Barchetta might be a real blast..............Hmmmmmm.

Having Yes in the "Hall of Fame" would not increase my enjoyment of their music (unless they made more mediocrity like "Big Generator").
On second thought, maybe they should be in so we can hear Roundabout for the 800th time.

It wouldn't increase my enjoyment either but it's good to see them get some additional recognition and maybe point others in their direction so that they can enjoy what we've been hearing for 35 years........and that includes Roundabout.

And besides, why should the Hall of Fame be in the U.S.? It should be in Great Britian!
