This fan voting thing seems so unfair to me since there are some old bands on there whose fans probably don't use the Internet that much, how do they get any votes? It's not a level playing field, I thought it was about respecting old hands rather than reflecting current popularityOriginally Posted by sheepdean

The public votes only account for 5 out of a thousand or so, so it's really meaningless unless it comes down to a tie

They don't pick the bands only by thins voting. This is just one of multiple criteria.

No Yes, and No Deep Purple either. Ugh. I did vote for NIN. Stevie Ray Vaughan, too. Nice to see him in the lead.

2nd to bloody Green Day...get voting people!
Active Member
Not anymore, they aren't. Something like 25% NIN (first place) to 8% Green Day.
Although I gotta say...with the Smiths and Kraftwerk in there, it's a little hard for me to actually vote NIN this time around.
Throbbing Member
I wonder how much rock are Nine Inch Nails. Trent said he doesn't even like rock that much and label NIN as rock band just seems funny to me. If this award would be truthful to its name, I think the obvious option here would be Stevie Ray Vaughn. I voted for both though
Active Member
I think the HOF doesn't like rock that much either. Kraftwerk is in the running for Christ's sake.

The saddest thing to me is that the bands from the 70's that are being ignored all have members firmly in their golden years, or more likely have members who already passed on. And to see younger acts in, some of whom have really nothing but pop culture status and huge sales, kind of disgusts me.
Active Member
Okay and now for a possibly sore spot for a lot of you to consider, NIN is only being considered now because of Trent winning the Oscar. It's roughly why I think Black Sabbath were finally inducted because Ozzy made himself a pop culture figure again because of the reality show.

Er, you know this is the first year NIN has been eligible? It's highly possible that it's because of the Oscar, but it's not like they suddenly decided, NIN's just not been allowed in until this year.
Active Member
I know that. But without the Oscar (and possibly signing to another major label too), I'm quite sure he'd be snubbed.

Couldn't disagree with you more. They were massive and arguably the biggest band in the world around 1994 and maintained a level of success that not many bands see today. Combat that with the late career renaissance Trent had in 2005 with releasing With Teeth and having a handful of singles on rock and roll radio throughout his entire career, and this is essentially a no-brainer. Nine Inch Nails getting into the rock and roll hall of fame is as close to a lock as it gets, and he easily could've done it without scoring for Fincher.

Pearl Jam sold 1 million copies of Vs its first week and set a billboard record....so I wouldnt call NIN the biggest band in the world in 1994. Soundgarden outsold them as well, even those pukes in Green Day outsold them...Nirvana mania was also going big because of the suicide.....just looked it up and Stone Temple Pilots had a number 1 record for 3 weeks straight and they outsold NIN as well...Aerosmith outsold them as did the fucking Counting Crows..oh and The Offspring outsold NIN as well....maybe NIN was like 12th or 15th biggest?

Hey [billpulsipher], I said "arguably". Watch the Woodstock '94 crowd and then try not to tell me how [really] massive they were.

Might be easier to use this link, that sends you right to the page where you can vote for NIN: http://rockhall.com/voting/2015-rock...nees-fan-vote/
and don't forget to hit the red "place your vote" button at the bottom.
NIN currently #3 with 12.05% of the vote (you get stats after voting)

Im hoping that NIN along with The Smiths and Kraftwerk and Chic all get nominated. all had massive cultural and musical influence and deserve it.
To put Greenday in over a group with monumental influence like Krafrwerk would be insane.
NIN are not going in because of Trents recent mainstream publicity boost by scoring films either. It was common knowledge in the music world by the late 90s that Trent had attained a special sort of status. Its endured and people know it, its quire rare for people to be nominated in their first year of eligibility usually reserved for bands like Nirvana.
Banned
The Chili Peppers are in the HOF and The Cure arent....thats all you need to know about what bullshit it is. Bowie didnt even show up to accept his induction. the fact there are people clamoring for Trent to get in is idiotic...Nine Inch Nails and ROCK AND ROLL in the same sentence???? fuck the HOF, let them go suck off Green Day or LL Cool J....

It's called us "having fun" with the situation. You should try it once in awhile.
I doubt there's many people on here that'll lose sleep on it one way or another.
Active Member
^^yeah but NIN sold a lot while being completely weird and a total outlier, all those other bands you mentioned were somewhat radio pandering

It’s going to be either Dave Grohl or Robert Smith. They would never agree to Al Jourgensen with his pin-cushion of a face or risk Manson showing up coked out of his skull falling off the stage. Richard Patrick is too busy having his life ruined by politics on Facebook and nobody has any idea who he is outside of the dedicated fanbase anyway. William Patrick Corgan’s ego would never allow him to induct someone in the HOF before he himself got there. Plus he’s still sore with Trent about that Stigmata business 20 years ago. Axl Rose would show up 3.5 hours late to the induction. Gary Numan will be on his 23rd Patreon vacation of the year. Jimmy Iovine would be too far outside the realm of the scene to make any logical sense, even if he rescued Trent from TVT back in the day..
It’ll be either Dave or Robert. It could only ever be those two now that Bowie is gone..
Just tickles my balls!
Gary Numan would be honoured to do it and he’s an incredibly stand-up guy. I see him as a definite possibility.

Didn’t Josh Homme kick some photographer woman right in the head at one of his shows not too long ago? No way in hell they’ll ask him to do it..
It’s going to be Dave Grohl. As it should be. He is the only 90s musician still living who comes anywhere close to Trent’s genius. Maybe Trent and Dave and Josh can do another live performance together at the HOF and get more than a minute of airtime before they cut the broadcast off like last time..
Just tickles my balls!
I had no idea that happened.

Also, the HOF has a lot to do with musical influence and impact. None of those other bands are really remarkable on that front.
Banned
One might argue what huge influence and impact did TR have in the grand scheme of things? Giving the world/and spawning bands like Stabbing Westward and Marilyn Manson and Filter???
And killing it at Woodstock 94 in front of a bunch of drunk jocks and frat boys doesnt make you the biggest band in the world in 1994. They didnt even headline that night....
