This year’s inductees are: Eminem Pat Benatar Dolly Parton Judas Priest Carly Simon Duran Duran Lionel Richie The Eurythmics Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (Musical Excellence Award) Harry Belafonte and Elizabeth Cotten (Early influence Award) Allen Grubman, Jimmy Lovine and Sylvia Robinson (Ahmet Ertegun Award) Curious about Dolly now, seeing as she did not want in. Did someone talk her into it? Are they saying "You're in, whether you want to or not?" (That would be Vince of them) She said yesterday she felt comfortable going in so she’s in now.

Something tells me they told her that the tally showed she was voted in, and she decided to gracefully go with the flow.

Great to see Judas Priest get in finally. 50 years as a band now I think maybe had something to do with it.
I can’t really argue with any of the other nominees. It’s basically a music hall of fame now rather than exclusively rock and roll and all those are deserving.

(That would be Vince of them) They basically told her "Tough shit, were not changing anything" after she asked to be removed from the ballot so I'd guess she's just going with the flow now.

"Hey, if we induct only 2 bands and a bunch of solo acts then that's less people we have to invite so then we can sell more tickets"

Kinda rude not to respect her feelings on it now, but it's Dolly so she was never going to be anything but gracious and sweet about it. Meanwhile, if they really cared that much about her getting in, they would have done it ages ago. Let's be real: they only included Dolly this year because a lot of younger people are just learning how utterly awesome she is, and they're going to capitalize on that. Double brownie points for her being a woman. She 1000% deserves all of the accolades from all of the musical institutions in the world, but the cynic in me can only see it as an attention getting ploy.

Dolly deserves it, whether she realizes it or not.
As far as the inductees go, this is a great class minus Eminem. I have never been able to understand why people think he's worth a shit, but that's just my dumb opinion. It's about f***ing time Judas Priest went in.
My biggest disappointment was Devo not getting the nod. In a perfect world, they would definitely go in over Eminem.

There are so many acts that came before him, regardless of genre, who aren't in yet. Would expect nothing less from the HOF, though.

At the induction ceremony, Eminem should do Stan with Dolly doing the Dido part. Yeah, that song is played out, but I think Dolly could do a great job.
