Best Band NOT in the Rock 'n Roll HOF

[Bengal Maniac]

It has to be Chicago IMO. Just can't believe they have not been inducted. Followed closely by Styx.

Someone please fix the Thread Title. Sorry, just missed the space bar.

Chicago should definitely be in. Styx I'm not so sure about.

All about perspective, but how is Kool Herc not in- he basically invented rap music.

 

Others I was surprised about:

Bon Jovi

Green Day

Pearl Jam

 

How long before groups like The Killers and Foo Fighters are in?

Looks like Green Day is going in this year- scratch them.

Pearl Jam was formed in 1990, but "Ten" didn't come out until '91, so it may be a couple years for them.

 

The Killers will never get in. Foo Fighters came together in '94. The eligibility starts at 25 years.

For the sake of not repeating, my list didn't include already named bands such as Cheap Trick or the Cars, but they definitely belong as well.

 

It's really hard to decide on just one, but if I had to say which band startled me the most by not being in the Hall, it would be

 

Yes

[FarBeyondDriven]

The most glaring omission in my mind, has to be Deep Purple.
