2023 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame thread

Missy Elliot getting in on 1st or 2nd try is turning me into Eddie Trunk. GREAT artist. Don’t get me wrong. Does she deserve to get in over Iron Maiden? (Harrumphing and angrily adjusting denim vest)
 
That is not very since impressive since half of those bands only have one or no great albums (unless we are counting live, which I don’t unless (x2) you want to count compilations).

I think objective greatness is not really the most important when it comes to RRHOF’s induction qualifications (Which I want to emphasize are DUMB. Influence (in the critical community IE their voters and base’s eye) is #1, influence in music as a whole is probably #2, and I’d say greatness is #3 with popularity at a very distant fourth.
 
Lol Tom Morello was the only one to show up for Rage's induction. Zach was all like "man, this is fucking dumb. No thank you". Tom towing the line as always.
