Seeing names like Devo and The Go-Go's on the list is like including a bench player who's only thing of note they've ever done was make a single catch in a Super Bowl game a hall of famer.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

In 1990, King was inducted, along with Goffin, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the non-performer category for her songwriting achievements.

I mean, in terms of their extended staying power and album sales, they certainly belong in the conversation. RRHOF is really a popularity contest over many years and not really a barometer of critical acclaim.

Will be interesting to see if Todd Rundgren shows, he said he didn't care if he ever got in a year or so ago.

For some reason, I thought the Go Go’s had already gotten in. Looking forward to the jam with the Foos on We Got The Beat.

Most definitely - I have a ton of respect for Dave Grohl - it's wild how the Foos have gotten "U2-like status" and Grohl's bacically become the unofficial spokesperson for Rock N' Roll. I just couldn't resist the pun drop. :lol:

DG really is a super cool guy - saw them at a surprise show in Harrisonburg, VA at the JMU Convocation Center April 2000. 2 of us were crowd surfing and got plucked out of the pit by security. Dave went over to the side of the stage and told the cop/guard that if we weren't allowed to go back to our seats to enjoy the rest of the show he was going home. Great night - excellent show. Andrew W.K. opened up just singing live vocals to a tape of what eventually became some of his debut album.

He's the worst. Even The Roots can't make that show watchable.

Fallon is simply awful. The disdain that Seinfeld could no longer hide on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee was entertaining.
