Jesus GGW.  You scared the shite out of me.
 
 After reading the thread name I opened and looked at the names, not realizing it was a list of those ELIGIBLE.
 
 I thought Bryan Adams had been chosen..  :eek:

Given the HoF's record, it may be inevitable that Adams will get in.

Did you guys really think groups like Coachella and Guided by Voices were gonna be up there. Maybe in the Fantasyland Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

 Of that list...Black Sabbath should be no contest. Love em or hate em - you can't deny their importance & influence.

well GBV isn't on this list because it hasn't been 25 years since their first release... expect that around 2012.  and GBV will never be inducted because they are a Rock N Roll band should be... A beer soaked Bar band cranking out great songs.  Not some corporate dog and pony act.  
 
 GGW you stink  :D   Now there is yet another blog that I need to check up on everyday. Do you really  think I have that much time on my hands? Smackie alert on this one as well..  Grad day pictures of those recently legalized twins on this site   ;)

I don't know who the hell Coachella is but GBV are in the hall of fame.  In the music of Ohio exhibition.  I don't think Local H is anywhere in there.

Allegedly there is bad blood between Jann Wenner and Van Halen and the handicappers put the odds for VH pretty low.
