Country:  | The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
We continue to hear about the R&R Hall of Fame and their inductions of "qualified" artists. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
I personally think this is a business of which they have little credibility. Everytime I hear about an induction, I just laugh that these artists are either too stupid or are such attention whores that they cannot see what a farce this is. Kinda like the stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame...where the artists PAY for their stars. 
Your thoughts?

Country:  | The hall of fame lost its credibility when they started allowing Rap stars to be inducted. For christ sakes try and induct a Rock band into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame. They would never allow it!

Country: | Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five have no place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
And therefore I have no respect for it.
