Rock-n-Roll Hall-of-Fame?

Why is a group like--Wings--in the hall-while a group like AC/DC isn't?If I am wrong about this--may I be Thunderstruck.

No AC/DC

No KISS

No Rush

No Black Sabbath

No Rainbow

No King Crimson

No Mott the Hoople

No Deep Purple

If you're not a hippie, a motown act, or a working-class "rocker", stay home

McCartney's in the Hall as a solo act, but Wings aren't...

Was AC/DC even on the latest ballot? I know that there's a 25-year period from the release of an artist's first album, and AC/DC now qualifies, but I just don't know if they've had a chance to actually be voted in.

Besides, is there any Hall of Fame in which people aren't entirely happy with who's in and who's out?

No New York Dolls
No Patti Smith
No Television

I'm seriously doubting Devo will get their due.

I've got my fingers crossed for the Clash and Elvis Costello next year. Not because the RnR HOF MEANS anything, but because they deserve any recognition (and subsequent sales and new listeners) that they can get.

Did Iggy Pop ever even get in? The Stooges?

Clash and Costello will probably make it. Forget about the Dolls.
