I gather that it takes 25 since your first album was released to be eligible. You'd have to assume from the 1990s that Nirvana's in....Radiohead's in....Pearl Jam....Pumpkins? Oasis?? And that's rock. What about rap and R&B? Snoop? B.I.G.? Tupac? Boyz II Men???
Who the fuck knows how these things will get decided.

My guess is that the criteria in that respect is whether they made an impact on the rock charts. Travis Tritt, no. Garth Brooks - maybe. (Though doubtful because he's worse than Billy Joel.)

I think it's inevitable that Alanis, DMB, RHCP, STP, Green Day, etc. will be held in the same regard as the most of us hold 70's-80's rock now (which is, it's all pretty much revered or at least tolerated with a smirk--even the 2nd-3rd tier stuff like America, Guess Who).

I said I was pissed off, not that Fripp or any other Crims should be. I've never been very far above the fray, as it were.
I think they deserve it. It would be nice to see them get the recognition they deserve. It pisses me off because of WHY I think they're not in -- Fripp's insistence on calling bullshit on the corruption of the music industry, esp. since his re-un-retirement in the early 90s, following the "period of Endless Grief" legal fight with E.G. Records. He refuses to accept standard industry practices, especially accounting practices, and is very patient, methodical and intractable dealing with major labels*. Anyway, my guess is that part of the industry's payback is "No HoF for YOU."
*This certainly makes him come across as a dick and a martyr. He's infuriating as only the truly principled can be.

Except for the fact that Seymour Stein is one of the men behind the HOF, and all of the Talking Heads LPs were on his label. Didn't Stein himself get inducted into the hall this year or last?

... are all in. I can't think of any other 90s bands that were as big, though, besides RHCP and bands like Soundgarden, Bush, Live, etc., which I can't imagine will make the cut.
As for bands that are 'big' today not on the above list--i.e., bands who are more in the '00s--
White StripesOutkastThe StrokesWilco
are in. Assuming the whole place doesn't totally change and let in bands besides Outkast that don't use guitars.

I also think Radiohead, the Pixies, Metallica, Dave Matthews band, Guns N Roses, Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Beck and Sonic Youth have a good shot.
Run DMC, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy will either make it in, or they'll start a hip hop hall of fame.
I don't see Teenage Fanclub,m the White Stripes, the Strokes or Coldplay making it.

Even though I am not at all into hip-hop, I hope they will also be able to include hip-hop (and electronica), as hip-hop and electronica are both clearly part of the bigger and broader history of rock'n'roll.

Anyway, REM, Metallica, Madonna, Run DMC and Public Enemy are the sure-thing locks from the 1980s. 1990s, you've got Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Radiohead. After that it gets a little fuzzy.
