Ladies and gents, new Hall of Famers has just been inducted. Congratulations to Genesis, The Stooges, Jimmy Cliff, The Hollies, and Abba.
They totally ignored LL Cool J, the Chilli Peppers, and Kiss. Weird. Kiss is probably getting frustrated and pissed off that they keep getting ditched by the Hall of Fame, lol.
Genesis and The Stooges are two bands that I love, and I’m happy they are finally in!

Although Phil Collins isn’t able to drum anymore, there might be a possibility that Phil Collins and original frontman of Genesis, Peter Gabriel, might reunite at the Rock Hall of Fame, if the band gets inducted.
The band is already preparing for the nomination voting by releasing box sets of live material. Phil announced he has back problems and claims he isn’t able to drum anymore, so he was forced to give it up, but who knows, maybe he will drum at the Hall of Fame if he still has it?
The band is excited and they hope it happens.

I’m sure they’ll make it in and get inducted, they deserve it. Genesis has always been great.

Me thinks, Kiss will get in no matter what. So will the Chilli Peppers and LL Cool J. Genesis will definitely get in.
I don’t know about Laura Nyro though, I don’t even know who that is.
If Genesis finally does get inducted, I wonder if Peter Gabriel will be part of that induction since he was the first frontman of that band before Phil Collins? I’m sure they’ll let Peter be part of this. I don’t see why not?
So you ask, LL Cool J is not rock, he is strictly rap and hip hop, how does he get nominated? I’m willing to bet the song “Mama Said Knock You Out”, is what got him the nomination, that tune is kind of like a rock song.
