Nirvana was inducted two years ago, and R.E.M. definitely came before them. Does that matter?MovingPictures07 wrote:Agreed with these!leetic wrote:Alan Parsons Project should really be on that list. If not for their awesome music, at least for the fact that their song "The Raven" was very influential in terms of electronic effects to voices.

I would also add Blue Oyster Cult, Can, Genesis, Radiohead, R.E.M., Rush, XTC, and I'm sure some others I'm forgetting. But definitely those. Not sure if they're all in the Hall of Fame though; I don't track it because I think their selection process is flawed and Radiohead and R.E.M. might be too young still.
I'd vote for Alan Parsons. His solo work was extensive and productive, not to mention the producing he did with Pink Floyd before that. I'm not familiar with Bad Religion, but I know the Offspring, and used to like Rise Against. That is noteworthy.leetic wrote:Alan Parsons Project should really be on that list.

I agree with Epignosis, Alex Lifeson's HoF speech was excellent. I've watched it maybe a dozen times over the last couple years.
