The one I most wanted to get in, Todd Rundgren, didn't make the cut, despite the fact that he came in third in the fan vote.

LOL, so my guess work earier in the thread was not really accurate at all...I got 4 of my 15 predictions correct.

Overall, I'm very happy with this group, especially Roxy Music, The Cure, and Radiohead
Not a big fan of both Def Leppard and Janet Jackson, but hey, it is what it is.
At least there's 5 acts I can enjoy in this induction group.

I believe that Roxy, Cure and Radiohead are hugely deserving. For my tastes, especially Cure and Radiohead....I think those 2 are just hugely influentual......

Def Leppard - I really am shocked they got in...but maybe I shouldn't be. I do remember the first time I heard them back in high school, I was like "holy crap, who is this band?" They were so raw, talented and loud...with immediate hooks I could not believe it. Their first 2 albums simply blew me away at the time and I cannot tell you how much that music being played in my car at obscene volumes made me party even harder.

I think the Zombies are long overdue, but refusing Todd is a crime.

I'd just like to say that thanks to QuadraphonicQuad, I met Omega4 (Andrew) of the U.K., who was kind enough to spend a day with me and my wife on our first visit to the U.K. last October. On that day we visited Andrew's hometown, St. Albans, which also happens to be the hometown of The Zombies. The first place he took us was the Blacksmith's Arms, where we had a drink in their honor.

Congratulations to The Zombies, and thank you, Andrew! (If anyone knows how to tag someone in a post, please let me know how.)

Stevie Nicks and Radiohead deserve it. Both very talented

and just to poke the bear, I like Devo and always have, so there

No bear poked.....I love Devo, and hoped they would make it.

I have to admit that while all the artists being nominated are worthy and talented musicians, I have no interest in any awards ceremony. I just do not get the hype. I haven't watched a Grammy show since about 1980. I prefer to vote with my record buying dollars instead. In quite a few instances, I have "voted" multiple times and have the Ikea LP shelving to prove it!

QQ is a better judge of talent because we have no vested interest in any of the nominees.

can't be said for the RRHOF

 

[Strilo]

I'm very happy for the Cure, Roxy Music, Janet Jackson (finally!)... and I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE Def Leppard. They're one of my favorite bands. I own all their albums, even the stuff after 1992...

Same here. Though I can't help but wonder how they'd feel about the idea.

Quite a good quiz here -

I did a lot better on JJ then I anticipated!

Well, we tend to be biased toward our surround sound darlings though!
Todd didn't get in, despite his excellent "Liars"?! Bah!

 

[HDave]

Well I actually went through the process and voted a couple times, disappointed that two didn't make it of my selections.

The Cure
Stevie Nicks
The Zombies

Todd......Great live performer. Maybe next time, he deserves to be there also damn fine producer.
MC5 .....My Hometown band that when they weren't in Ann Arbor they'd have rehearsal's sometimes in the basement 3 houses away from mine. First L.P. my mother took away and smashed, I was getting cocky cranking the volume on Kick out the Jams. ( Not the radio edit Ha.)

 

[Frogmort]

The lack of Todd Rundgren and Devo were my biggest disappointments.
