Responses:

Fishbone, Suzanne Vega and either Joe Satriani or Faith No More -- nm - Krusty Jan 6, 14:29
Megadeth, Indigo Girls, and Joe Satriani. (Isn't Jefferson Starship already in?) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 14:28 5
- "We Built This City" would be the equivalent of mark McGwire shooting steroids in front of Congress while on the phone with his bookie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 14:30 4
  - You're only pretty as you feel...pretty as you feel, feeling so pretty, (repeat about 200 times) -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 14:33 1
    - oh, and let's not forget, nor forgive "the girl with the hungry eyes) repeated about 500 times -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 14:34
  - (and shooting a hooker) -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 14:31 1
    - (while banging her) -- nm - Subversive Jan 6, 14:32
Bono, maybe. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 14:28 8
- How does Bono get in as a solo? He really has no body of work on his own. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 14:30 7
  - yes, totally true. i think U2 actually deserves a spot. Bono is odd on his own. (maybe it's for his philanthropy as much as music.) -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 14:30 6
    - I'm pretty sure U2 is in already. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 14:32 3
      - as mentioned below, they are. here's a link to the transcript of the great springsteen speech for them. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 6, 14:33 1
        
        I remember it. It was great. He also did a great induction speech for Jackson Browne. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 14:41
      - i would hope so - making Bono an ever odder addition. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 14:33
    - "He's totally famous, he's in rock & roll, and this is the rock & roll hall of fame. It fits!" -- nm - Max Jan 6, 14:31
    - he's a shoe-in for the Worthy Causes HoF, but R&R? no way -- nm - Guy Jan 6, 14:31
Bono, -- nm - Jammed Uzi Jan 6, 14:27 1
- King Diamond, Sepultura and Megadeth -- nm - Jammed Uzi Jan 6, 14:28
Do I have to? I don't think any deserve it out of that list. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 14:27
Dinosaur Jr, Indigo Girls, Joe Satriani -- nm - nubby Jan 6, 14:26
I'll go Joe Satriani, Dinosaur Jr (for longevity) and My Bloody Valentine (for creating a new genre) -- (link) - Guy Jan 6, 14:25
Edgar Martinez -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 14:25
Joe Satriani, the insider's dark horse candidate (starship was just mediocre shell of what they once were -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 14:25 4
- Starship's first couple of albums were good, but without Jorma & Jack, they ain't no Airplane -- nm - peglegpete Jan 6, 14:29 2
  - hasn't "we built this city" been on several Worst Song Ever lists? - Andie Jan 6, 14:29 1
    - not sure. after Red Octopus, I stopped listening to them -- nm - peglegpete Jan 6, 14:30
- oh, it's not including the earlier days for starship? then, eh. -- nm - b. Jan 6, 14:28
(I just heard that they're considering lowering the eligibility requirements to 20 years (from 25.) nm - Dignan Jan 6, 14:24 1
- god i'm old - fatsquatch Jan 6, 14:25
I think an argument can be made for Satriani and I suppose David Lee Roth. -- nm - Callisto Jan 6, 14:23 10
- I don't see how you do DLR as a solo. With VH, yes, but as a solo he was lame. Same reason I leave Bono off. He's part of U2, but hasn't accomplishe - pmb Jan 6, 14:29 3
  - yeah, but do you do VH with him or with Sammy? - Callisto Jan 6, 14:30 2
    - I think VH goes in (actually they already went in didn't they?) and it includes both versions. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 14:32 1
      - But... Oh. -- nm - Gary Cherone Jan 6, 14:32
- I was under the impression that Dave Mustaine was a fairly influential dude. - groiny Jan 6, 14:25 5
  - he's just such a tool. -- nm - Callisto Jan 6, 14:28 4
    - word. you're never going to get over on Metallica, dude - give it up -- nm - Guy Jan 6, 14:30
    - he may be. - groiny Jan 6, 14:29 2
      - so which of the 22 band members should be included? - Guy Jan 6, 14:35
      - Any dude who is responsible for writing and playing "Holy Wars (The Punishment Due)" is OK in my book -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 14:31
Joe Satch, Megadeth and DLR -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 14:23
Chumbawumba! What they did for getting knocked down and getting back up again can't be overestimated. -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 14:22
Satriani, DLR, Megadeth. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 14:22 4
- Hee -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 14:26
- [deleted] 2
  - upon reflection, I should have included him. it isn't just his work but his influence. (btw, 15 grammy noms and no award? joe lucci!) -- nm - b. Jan 6, 14:26
  - lots of peeps I like in there, but not for HOF. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 14:24
sorry. I feel nobody on the list is influencial/important enuf to join. some are close, but none of them changed the world of music -- nm - peglegpete Jan 6, 14:22
Indigo Girls, Bono, and Joe Satriani if I have to have three -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 14:22
Satriani for his exposition, The Outfield because I like them, and Suzanne Vega for her talent. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 14:22
Primal Scream, Stone Roses, Suzanne Vega -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 6, 14:21
[deleted]
just bono? starship, and umm.. (I really like some of those, but they're not quite and/or yet hof material). -- nm - b. Jan 6, 14:20 5
- Sonny isn't worth it without Cher :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 6, 14:24
- Like, U2, OK, but what's Bono done as a solo artist to deserve it? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 14:23 3
  - U2's already in there (great springstreen speech). bono alone wouldn't be for his solo music or even collabs. -- nm - b. Jan 6, 14:32
  - Make kissy faces -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 14:24
  - Same thing with DLR, though I like a lot of his solo stuff as much as his work with Van Halen. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 14:23
Camper Van Beethoven, Chris Isaak, Erasure -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 14:20 1
- I see your erasure and your chris isaak (but not because I like him, because i think he's important), but I insist upon the screaming trees. -- nm - all about andrea Jan 6, 14:25
No? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 14:20 2
- (If Mike & the Mechanics get in, I'm burning the motherfucker down) -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 14:21 1
  - say it loud, say it clear. -- nm - b. Jan 6, 14:21
Faith No More, Indigo Girls, Megadeth -- nm - Qale Jan 6, 14:20
Starship! Chumbawumba! -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 14:19
