    The R&R HOF has no credibility without this genre.

    I cant believe they are not in there yet. They were such an important part of my youth yet they are so overlooked.

      Who cares? The RnRHoF is a joke! Rush should use the $25000 it would cost them for a table at the banquet and put it towards making a recor

      As the members of bands such as ELP, Rush, Yes et al are actual musicians, rather than just poseurs, they should absolutely be recognised.

      Not that they need to be inducted to validate their years of contributions to Rock 'n Roll, but it would still be appropriate recognition.

      Rush sucks, their sound is annoying.

      The HOF is just a popularity contest.

        They've had a HUGE influence on the music hear today, bands such as Tool, Metallica, Disturbed wouldn't exist in the same form without Rush

          Bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, YES, Jethro Tull, & RUSH should be in the Rock & Roll hall for sure. They gave music so much creativity.

          While I would induct my favorite progressive rock band, Jethro Tull, well ahead of them, OBVIOUSLY Rush belongs in the RRHOF ! ! !

            Of course they belong! GREAT storytellers and absolutely fabulous musicians. I can almost feel the wind in my hair in Red Barchetta!!!

            I say that no one visits the site until they actually honor the ones that deserve it. Madonna? Run DMC? Really? Boycott.....

              The musicianship of bands like Rush is second to none. With just 3 players! Same with groups like Triumph. And they do great live!

                I think it's important for people to remember that Rush's Neil Peart is considered one of the greatest drummers of all times.

                The question should be does Run DNC belong in the hall? Is there no rap hall of fame?

                  Certainly before Madonna, Run-DMC, Michael Jackson. Hint - "Rock" Hall of Fame???

                  Modern rock is now reflecting their influence. The Raconteurs, Flaming Lips, etc.
