I voted for Nine Inch Nails 20 times already. They've been nominated every year since they've been eligible. Plus they're just amazing. They deserve to be leading, but these polls don't really mean much, as NIN got the 2nd highest amount of votes last year.

The hall of fam.

I think it's more because Snide's probably only heard the soft-cock Chicago of later years than his questionable taste

It says fam because fame wouldn't fit.

This voting process is honestly total bullshit. Last year, Nine Inch Nails (NWA and Smiths were also nominated last year) were the 2nd highest voted band. Nine Inch Nails didn't get in that year.

Hopefully they'll get in, but the cars and yes also have my vote. That being said, NIN is better than both.

They're important, and a great band (even though if I'm not a fan of them) but Yes really should be inducted first, way more influential and way older

I like Nine Inch Nails way more than I like Yes, but I can guarantee that Yes will be inducted.

I like the Cars, but I'm not sure if they'll get in. They didn't really do that much to influence music, but their first couple of albums were great.

Does anyone else think it's about time for either Boston or the Cure to get in? (Two totally different bands but they're both worthy of a mention)

if creative and artistic accomplishment is considered los lobos is most likely the most accomplished artists of the bunch, and sort of have a timeless rock 'n roll style, too. but if fame and popularity is all that counts, welp, it could be tough. otherwise the band stands tall and has been influential to other artists, as well

Nine Inch Nails has the least amount of votes...Yes and Deep Purple deserve placement more, but give some respect to the industrial gods too.

lol people still complain about non-rock artists getting in the rock hall as if Johnny Cash and Miles Davis weren't in long before any hip-hop act (and it's been almost a decade since the first one of those got in).

There is nothing "rock and roll" about NWA at all. The fact that they're even suggested discredits the entire organization. Don't take this shit seriously. All it is, is a marketing ploy.

Johnny Cash is an original Rock artist, like Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis, and Miles was as pop in the 60's as a jazz musician can get with his Jazz rock fusion, The Dead open for him once at the Fillmore, so whoever said that had no point, and The Beasty Boys are in so...

I would say the ROCK hall should be like "music" or popular music, that's what it seems to be, but Christ there are some shitty acts in there

No he isn't.

and Miles was as pop in the 60's as a jazz musician can get with his Jazz rock fusion,


Which is not rock music...

The Dead open for him once at the Fillmore, so whoever said that had no point,


Genres are determined by one-time opening acts now?

and The Beasty Boys are in so...


So...?

I would say the ROCK hall should be like "music" or popular music, that's what it seems to be,


I agree, but Western Popular Music Hall of Fame doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

There's also soul, R&B and disco in the Hall. People just freak out about rappers.
