Bowie
The Fall
Television
Led Zep
Talking Heads

Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, The Clash, Joni Mitchell, Radiohead

i think any band whose bad period has lasted longer than their good period should be disallowed (i.e. the rolling stones, the fall, etc)

Wesley Willis (not joking. the dude is the fucking essence of rock 'n' roll.)
The Fall
SY
Neil Young
Minutemen

Chuck Berry
Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix
Black Sabbath
The Ramones

I don't want Throbbing Gritsle to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, because on the off chance that mainstream music tastes change A LOT, they'll get Trent Reznor to induct them. After all, he is the public face of "industrial music" for a lot of people...

Can Unwound be in the rock music hall of fame?

Big Star
Roxy Music
Sonic Youth
The Smiths
King Crimson
