How is that possible? How can that band not be in the Hall of Fame already?

[Geor!]

That institution is a fucking joke. R&B, Rap and modern pop counting as rock in their eyes and too many bands being passed over should make them a joke to anybody halfway interested in R&R.

I read a recent list of bands NOT in the RRHOF, and I about shit my pants. What a joke...

[CJ]

Yeah it's all politics. A large portion of the never inducted have voiced the bias involved, coincidentally.

[Damnittsteve]

easy answer. they are jewish.

[Geor!]

Geddy is the only Jewish one.

[Damnittsteve]

Geddy is the only Jewish one.

really? vh1 are liars! they said the whole band was jewish lol.

[AdRock]

Yeah, the RHOF is a fucking joke. The fact that Rush isn't in there yet is just another one of the million reasons why it is.

[YALE]

Why the limit on bands inducted every year?

[Binky]

Rolling Stone magazine and their grudges.

[YALE]

Rolling Stone magazine and their grudges.

Really? They control who gets inducted?

thats just the "spirit of radio" i guess.

god bless.

Maybe they're just waiting until the year 2112. Waiting so long would probably make it Closer to the Heart when they finally do get inducted. Of course, that's the price you pay living in the Limelight, but it seems as if the R&RHOF is on some sort of Witch Hunt, but little do they know the Circumstances of their decisions. Then again, maybe it's because of The Big Money, or lack thereof, that Rush have never been inducted.

I'm too lazy to go any further with that.
