I'm not too surprised. They gave in to the politically correct not to insult some non Whites and non rock and rollers. The whole thing is a joke.

Ted Nugent is a fascist.
Ted Nugent was one of the first concerts I ever went to back in the early eighties. I like him, he's an excellent guitarist, puts on an exciting show, and believes in the Bill of Rights as written. He is a rock and roll legend. In his prime he could lay waste to any venue live. HE is Rock and on this topic he is correct.
I can see why this abortion of a hall of fame has such nonsense.
I’d rather have Great White in (very average rock band) than any of those artists. None are rock. Great White is.
Again, I’m not advocating for Great White, just making that point that at least they qualify, as they are Rock.

You really don't think Patti Smith should be in the RnR Hall of Fame?
I agree with him. It is the Rock and Roll HOF, not the general music HOF. Other genres should build their own hall. Joe Montana and Wayne Gretzky we're great atletes but don't belong in the baseball HOF.
Rock n roll hall of fame is for posers.

Draft dodgers don't really have a valid opinion.
He has the God given right to say what he wishes.
But he's an invisible American...it carries no weight.
Sorry Nuge.
If Stevie Nicks can get in the Hall twice, Patti Smith certainly belongs in at least once. What's the objection to Patti?

Patti who?

I had to look this one up.
Smith is referred to as a " feminist icon. "
Nugent would never support that.
Are we talking about noted pedophile Ted Nugent? Birds of a feather on the Right, I suppose.

She's pretty niche, not too talented and not that famous.
Baseball HOF - 333 total members
Football HOF - 346 members
Basketball HOF - 401 members
Rock and Roll HOF - 351 members
R n R began around 1950, long after the above sports, and yet they have as many inductees already. Seems the standard for admission is far too low and includes many who are not "Rock" acts. They should have established a "Music Hall of Fame" and they could include anyone without controversy.

Better name idea would be mainstream carp hall of fame. A hall of fame for all the mainstream normie music. Remember to stay kvlt.
As much as I enjoy the work of Grandmaster Flash, someone explain to be how Hip Hop is Rock and Roll. Wouldn't some call the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognizing Grandmaster Flash cultural appropriation? Is he still eligible for the Hip Hop Hall of Fame?

There's a committee.
They nominate.
They vote.
They induct.
It's not your call in any step of the process.
Tough.

Nugent is the poster boy for the sore loser, constant victimhood that is the current state of your average American conservative. Its never their fault.
Lose an election - it was fixed!
Dont like a winning politician - recall!
Get called out for being racist - this is fascism!
I love some of Ted's music, but GOOD LUCK he rocks as hard as Patti Smith!
