About damn time Rush got in. Now it's time for bands like Iron Maiden and Deep Purple to get in.

Donna Summer should've been inducted like 30 years ago.

NWA and Deep Purple should have gotten in. Still cool that Public Enemy and Rush are in though. Rush has deserved for years.

it was only a matter of time, good job Rush. Most inductees had stopped making music at least a decade before inclusion, pussys, Rush are still pumpin out the jams as fast and furiously as ever m/

In all honesty the way the 'Rock n Roll' hall of fame operates has always confused me. It's essentially just the "we will only include music that was popular 20 years ago" hall of fame.

I didn't know hip-hop was a sub-genre of rock 'n' roll. My entire life is a lie.

Awesome that Rush is included. Hilarious that Alex just gave an interview in Guitar World 2 months ago claiming that he didn't want to be inducted.

Inducting Deep Purple wouldn't give Deep Purple more credibility, it would give the Hall more credibility.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the lamest thing ever...there's a reason several artists have said they don't even want to be in it.

You put out an album like Straight Outta Compton that really scared parents, cops, government and just about every white person in America.. Thats more Rock N Roll than any guitar solo or hair ballad.

Public Enemy, Heart, and Randy Newman beat Deep Purple. Do we really need more evidence that we live in an upside down world? Rush deserves it but I'm guessing they're the first prog band besides Pink Floyd which is lame.

I do not understand Rush fans. They detested the R&R HOF every single year Rush was snubbed, and consequently dismissed it overall (as they should). But now that Rush is in, the fans act like it's the best day of their lives. Makes no sense.
