    Maybe its me but I have had an issue with the members that are being inducted on a yearly basis. For instance today is the induction ceremony for the following artists:

    Whitney Houston
    Notorious B.I.G.
    The Doobie Brothers
    Depeche Mode
    Nine Inch Nails
    T Rex

    IMHO Whitney, Biggie, and T Rex (not sure who that is) do not belong in the ROCK AND ROLL HOF....they have nothing to do with ROCK AND ROLL!

    I guess you're young and missed the 60's and 70's rock era. So, T Rex was a 70's rock band. One song that sticks out that was their hit "Bang A Gong". As I recall, David Bowie had a song "All the Young Dudes" that mentions T Rex in the lyrics. Also, if you don't know who T Rex is, how do you determine they don't belong in the Hall?

    How are the Doobie Brothers not in there already? That’s an injustice.

    No less than half the members do not belong. It's a record company scam just like th Oscars. Producers, politics, corporate entertainment, not real contributions.

    I live in Cleveland (burbs actually) and have never been. I feel as if it is a scam also.
