We talk about legendary bands like Rush and Kiss finally making it into the Hall of Fame after years of being ignored. Well, there are still a handful of other bands/artists that have been getting ignored by the Hall of Fame too. I might of done this list before a long time ago but it doesn’t hurt to do it again.

Here are 10 big artists/bands that keep getting snubbed in the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” yearly:

Check out the inductee list, here… enjoy…

• Stevie Ray Vaughn – Isn’t it amazing that a legendary blues rock guitarist like SRV is still getting ignored by the Hall of Fame??? This is not a true Hall of Fame if you do not include SRV. This guy had a legendary career.
• Ozzy Osbourne (solo) – Black Sabbath is already in the Hall of Fame but Ozzy’s solo career isn’t yet. Ozzy’s solo career is worthy of an induction, absolutely.
• Deep Purple – When will Deep Purple ever get their time? They keep getting nominated every year but they keep getting snubbed of an induction. Their time is coming.
• Iron Maiden – Maiden totally deserves an induction. The Hall of Fame have been strict on inducting metal bands but they are slowly getting there since they inducted Black Sabbath, Metallica, etc. Maybe Maiden will get their time too. I love Iron Maiden!
• Megadeth – No matter what you think of Dave Mustaine and Megadeth they had a legendary career. They are still going too. They accomplished so much in the music industry. Megadeth totally deserves it!
• Ted Nugent – You can hate his right-wing politics all you want to but it can’t be denied that this man is a rock n’ roll legend! Come on Hall of Fame! Give him his time already! He’s got more great songs than “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Stranglehold”. This man is a rock n’ roll genius!
• YES – It’s incredible that this progressive rock band isn’t even in the Hall of Fame yet. They are famous for their “Roundabout” song.
• Jethro Tull – I love Jethro Tull! Ian Anderson and the guys totally deserve it!
• Motorhead – Another band that I can’t understand why they are not in the Hall of Fame yet. Lemmy rules. \m/
• “Weird Al” Yankovic – Love Weird Al or hate him, he had a huge hand in helping to keep rock n’ roll alive. A lot of the rock artists he parodies didn’t even know they were famous until Weird Al came around. He parodied songs from every rock n’ roll band you can think of. Al Yankovic totally deserves it!
• Billy Idol – How come this legendary rocker, Billy Idol not in the Hall of Fame yet? This guy had so many hit songs: “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell”, “Mony Mony”, “Dancing With Myself”, etc. I fuckin’ love Billy Idol, give him his time already!!!
• Dire Straits – They were the ones who helped MTV the music video station become huge in the 80’s with their hit song, “Money For Nothing”. I think that alone is worthy of an induction.
• Joe Satriani: Believe it or not, the Satch is eligible for a Hall of Fame induction and he’s totally worthy.
• Twisted Sister – Dee Snider’s Twisted Sister was a big deal for MTV back in the 80’s.
• Pat Benatar – Why isn’t this “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and “Love Is a Battlefield” singer in the Hall of Fame yet? She also influenced rock n’ roll in a great way. She’s totally deserving!

Future rock n’ roll hall of famers (bands/artists who are not yet eligible for 25 years): Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Oasis, Radiohead, the Foo Fighters, Weezer
