I'd put Leonard Cohen on the top of that short heap of talent if only for "I Am a Hotel" and the poem he wrote years ago about how much he and a friend were lovers of cunt. That's rock 'n' roll cat.

The Beastie Boys are nominated? For real? Jeezus...

At the very least, Ted Nugent needs to be nominated. This year's list of candidates is extremely weak. I absolutely agree that Rush deserves induction.

I've been a Rush fan since about '79 or so when I was old enough to buy my own music. I finally had an opportunity to see them live in Calgary this past summer, I cannot find enough superlatives to describe the experience. They played an honest 3 hours worth of music, their hits and a bunch from the new album Snakes & Arrows, which I think is absolutely brilliant. The chemistry of those three guys on stage is amazing to watch. The rock & roll hall of fame has become an irrelevant joke, don't sweat it man!
