Rock n Roll HOF announces 16 new inductees

[Hey Yo]

So Ozzy gets inducted with Black Sabbath. Then 38yrs later they decide that his solo career was pretty good (considering his most success came as a solo act) and induct him. That makes zero sense to wait that long.

Then we have the Dave Mathews band who needs to be nowhere near the HOF.... his band sucks!

Is that literal piece of garbage still replying to me even though it knows I blocked it?

You can’t take a HOF seriously if they don't have Iron Maiden in it, easily as influential as Black Sabbath and arguably more so than Judas Priest...and who the hell is Norman Whitfield, Alex Korner and Suzanne de Passe?

What planet do you live on if you think this is even close to true?

Yeah, people who dig Sabbath also dig Maiden. Like at least 99%. Maiden still selling out arenas today all over the world. Are you seriously arguing Maiden doesn't have arguments to be in the R&R HOF?

Maiden should be in the HOF, but they didn't invent a genre of music like Sabbath did. Sabbath is also pretty responsible for grunge (the Melvins, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains were all huge fans) and heavily influenced Black Flag who are a seminal hardcore punk band. Maiden isn't remotely close to their influence.

I'd say people who aren't deep into metal enjoy Iron Maiden more than Black Sabbath. Not sure how that translates to this stupid elitist club though.
