you are stupid.
 
 although...
 he is better than the J Geils Band who doesnt deserve to be in ANY kind of hall of fame, ever.
 
  (neither do the Sex Pistols)

If I had three votes I would vote:
 
 Sex Pistols
 U2
 Lynyrd Skynyrd
 
 I know, I know....You guys are glad I'm not voting.

Rhett - Thank you for continuing to entertain me with your hilarious statements.
 
 My prediction:
 
 Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five
 Gram Parsons
 U2
 
 ....but I'm not very good at prdicting these sorts of things.  And how the hell did J Geils band get on this list?
 
 Is there a limit to the # of inductees each year?

If the Stooges don't get in they should push that entire building into the lake!

Agreed!  
 At least Iggy's finally getting rich off of those cruise line commercials.

You really think that? A hall of FAME would seem like the most appropriate place for them. Besides they really got the whole punk thing rolling.

[sonickteam2]

SORRY SORRY SORRY
 
    i understand that everyone loves the Sex Pistols, but did they REALLY start punk?  no one was punk before them?
 
    I suppose its only a matter of time before Nirvana gets into the Hall Of Fame too right?
   
    I suppose if the Sex Pistols are in then so should Limp Bizkit.
 
    Nirvana = Limp Bizkit = Sex Pistols
 (that should piss some people off)

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I don't think the Sex Pistols should be in the rock and roll hame of fame.
 
 They put out one album, right?
 
 Does a baseball player make the baseball hall of fame for having one 20 game winning season or winning one batting title, and following it up with mediocrity or nothing at all?
 
 Does a football player have one 2000 yard season, then blow out his knee and retire, and get rewarded hall of fame status?
 
 Sex Pistols=one great, important record. But definitely not hall of fame material.

nobody is saying the sex pistols started punk... they did however
 
 influence many young bands in britan
 
 created the controversy to get punk in the face of the world
 
 made punk a marketable sound

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

In the grand scheme of music, I think the importance of "punk" is way overrated anyway.

sorry again Kosmo, "got the whole punk thing rolling" really sounds like he meant "started punk" to me
