Bowie didn't "refuse" to attend, he's not Axl fucking Rose. He was on tour, playing to thousands of people in Europe, during his induction.

As far as I know the only people who refused to attend were Van Morrison and The Sex Pistols.
Sad thing about Rod Stewart is that he had to miss the Faces getting inducted too, I think he was sick.
allegro mentioned this earlier but there have been some pretty awesome performances over the years, something that makes this whole mess of an institution kind of worth it.
And then there's hilariously bad stuff like this gratuitous mess:
Do we really want to see Trent jam? I don't think he can fit in with something like Chic or whoever is filling in for SRV.
I would see the shit out of T-Rez + JT + Bey.
I want to see a Green Day/ NIN cover of Perfect Day...
I was against this whole thing but if it means Trent getting onstage and jamming with ghosts from wax trax past like Al Jourgensen and Marty Atkins and Bill Leeb and Ogre...then go for it...an industrial wet dream
Kraftwerk is in 3rd place now, which is kind of surprising. I'm always surprised how War winds up on these ballots, and it's no wonder they aren't rating so well in this list. They would have had better luck calling them "the 'Low Rider' guys".
well deserved nomination, I'm guessing Nirvana getting in has opened the floodgates for that era
and call me a philistine but are War really that big of a deal? While I respect their contribution to marmite adverts and that cheech and chong movie, ermmm
When does this poop voting end? Maybe it's somewhere and I missed it but don't see an end date for the votes...
I think December.
They announce winners in December (for a ceremony in the Spring), so before then
I was going to make a bukkake joke,but I wasn't sure it would land. Glad someone else did it. <3
