Now let's try to leave out whether or not the Rock and Roll HOF should be taken seriously, because I'm sure that Run DMC and Metallica are getting inducted within the next 5 years.
This is strictly about Weird Al Yankovic, and if you think he deserves to be in.

i signed the petition when his concert came here last
I feel he is a legitimate artist who should be in the HOF because he takes songs and makes them in his own way and its about damn time he is recognized for it! He has been in the music business for a long time and is VERY serious about his music, parody or not and he is a talented performer who many flock to see if they get a chance to in concert! He is a genius! I love weird al
VIVA LA WEIRD AL!

The fact that other music performers are HONORED when he parodies their songs(except for one) says something.

No way.
There's no way a joke musician should be in before other bands like Kiss and Metallica.

Yup. I think he does. He's creative and a good artist, both n his parodies and his original stuff, not to mention he also directs too.

I'm just not impressed that he takes someone else's music and switches the words around. Creative & entertaining? Sure - but not worthy of being in a HOF.

He should DEFINETLY be in, yes, but there are a ton of people that should be in before him. Put him in, but make sure more significant artists take their places first.

It was Coolio. That was funny. Weird Al didn't even seem all that scared. Coolio can not be taken seriously.

To be fair, Weird Al sang the intro to the crapfest that is Spy Hard.

Nope. I mean he is good, but he does not scream RR HOF. Now If they keep adding trash from Hip Hop and Rap, Then sure. If your going to let stuff that is not Rock at all, by ANY stretch of the imagination, then A parody artist that at least parodies Rock should go in.

Out of curiosity, is there a specific reason this has come up? Is there currently any talk by Hall of Fame officials of doing this?
For the record, I'm pro-Al induction.
