Pearl Jam is my favorite band of all time and they certainly deserve it. They're still going strong selling out stadiums around the world while all their contemporaries have long faded away. And yeah, they've gone through a few drummers, but the fact remains that the four core members are still there, and Matt Cameron has been playing with those guys just as far back, with projects like Temple of the Dog. Hell, he's been with them since 1998 which is 18 of their 26 years as a band.

It's absurd that Janet Jackson & Chaka Khan are not in the Hall.

Right now I'm just happy Tupac got inducted. Just let us know- will we get the hologram, or will Makaveli finally break the seven days and show up for the concert portion of the induction?

So when's Hatsune Miku getting in the Rock and Roll HOF? Makes as much sense as NWA and 2Pac being in.

I listen to a fair amount of rap but think having non-rock artists in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is just dumb. I get the idea that it's about influential artists regardless of genre, but if that's the case than why not just call it the Music Hall of Fame, instead of acting like Tupac (or Madonna for a non-rap example) had something to do with rock music.

Plus, honestly expanding the gamut of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just makes the HOF that much more prestigious than it could have been as a whole. I'd rather see Tupac or NWA make it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame than the Rock and Roll HOF making more years of them putting the biggest band to break out 25 years before the induction happened and then filling it out with five groups from the 1950s who made one teen death song that got in the low end of the top 40 of the Hit Parade and were never heard from again because of how "groundbreaking" that song was for rock and roll today, even though most people barely heard or remember it. At least of all six songs- whether you're a fan of the genre they do or not, you can absolutely say all six inductees deserve it.

Well seeing how it's called The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, yes. It's like calling yourself Taco Bell and serving deli sandwiches and hamburgers. At this case they should just call it a music hall of fame if they are going to branch out into rap and pop music. I just think it kind of kills the point of having it be called The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame when everyone in music is allowed in the door. Whatever, not like anything I say will change it.

I have no problem with rap groups/artists going in. Groups like RUN-D.M.C., Public Enemy, and N.W.A. were innovative and made a huge impact on music in general and most definitely deserve to be in there. I don't think Tupac should be in at all and I certainly don't agree with him going in before bands like The Smiths, Motorhead, The Pixies, or Iron Maiden. But I also don't think Pearl Jam should've went in before those bands either, so oh well.
Basically, there are a ton of bands who should have went in over Tupac, Pearl Jam, or someone like Green Day. But we also have to realize this thing is basically at WWE Hall of Fame-levels of credibility at this point.
