I just went and looked at some of the inductees: The Beastie Boys? (I am a big fan, but I think they deserve to be in the HoF less than MJ) ABBA? Madonna? The Bee Gees? James Taylor? (again, I am a huge fan, but not rock & roll HoF worthy IMO) RUN DMC? (same as with James Taylor)
Most of these people never produced a rock & roll album, and some of them don't/didn't have enough talent, in my humble opinion, to be in the HoF. Apart form other bands mentioned in the thread, 2 others I think should be in before any of the names above are Asia & Foreigner.
