There needs to be a Heavy Metal Hall of Fame!!!

Just as long as VH1 has nothing to do with it.

or Rolling Stone
or journalists, in general
or critics
or corporations
or sponsors
or record labels

Other than that, it would be righteous!!

Bumped this, an interesting article regarding the so called 'Rock n Roll Hall of Shame'

Yet more examples of why no-one should support this institution.

It's all a big corporate money-making SCAM

- How the hell can you include artists like Madonna and RUN DMC that are miles away from anythinf rock? Complete joke

I have no problems with Madonna and RUN DMC being inducted into R n R Hall of Fame, they have made an impact on the industry and in their respective genres, what do have a problem with is ignoring bands that have had a bigger impact such as KISS, Alice Cooper, and Deep Purple for example who have not been inducted, The Dave Clark Five who are in the R n R Hall of Fame are an ok band I guess but their is no way they have had a greater influence than say Deep Purple, but at the end of the day Rock n Roll does not belong in a museum anyway.

You would be correct sir - But why include Madonna and RUN DMC in a ROCK 'N' ROLL hall of fame?

I think they use the term Rock n Roll to refer to everything from doo wop to dance music.
