ALICE COOPER!!!!!!!!!!!
I never liked Rush as a band.... but to leave them out of this (sham) Hall of Fame is pretty absurd.

Rush don’t need no steenkin hall of fame.
They have never been mainstream anything, have not sold out to get more air-play, don’t care if the masses don’t like them. Heck, I don’t even think they care if their hard-core fans like ‘em!
Each new album/CD from the boys is an adventure. You buy it, read the liners, check out the artwork, read the lyrics, and then carefully place it in the stereo - after making sure everyone else in the house is gone, the phone is unplugged, shades are pulled down and the dog has been tranquilized.
Then with quivering ears and stomach, you hold your breath as the first notes burst forth and you sit and listen til the last song is over.
You have an impression, but must hold judgement until you play it again, and again...sometimes it’s good, most times it’s good, and once in a while (Snakes and Arrows), you just don’t get it. Every other album by Rush is my favorite. :) Yeah, I’m a bit of a fan....
Point is, I used to feel bad they were never voted in, “How dare they not recognize the brilliance that is Rush!”...now, I’m glad of it. Alex, Neil and Geddy were never about being popular, they just march to the beat of their own drummer and are glad if other people appreciate it and march with them.
Maybe the liberals hall of fame is just jealous that Rush still sells out stadiums all over the world?
