LL and Rage are the biggest snubs.

LL and Rage are the biggest snubs.

And Radiohead. I agree. The idea that LL Cool J wouldn't be a first ballot act is absurd. The guy is one of the most influential artist of all time in his genre.

The actual fan voting included Judas Priest... who definitely deserve to be in!

I'm glad The Cars, The Moody Blues and Dire Straits got in. The early Cars music was really good. MTV seemed to gradually ruin them. The vast majority of the music of my high school years was abysmal.
