to do with Rock'n'Roll?
The whole damn ceremony should be renamed to "Pop music hall of fame".
I saw Motorhead quite a few times between 2002 and 2012, and was lucky enough to meet and get photos with Lemmy, Phil and Mikkey at several shows...all three were super nice.Quote

I'll put the Lemmy/Campbell/Dee (or Lemmy/Campbell/Wurzel/Dee) lineup up against the "classic" Lemmy/Eddie/Philthy lineup any day.
They released so many killer albums between 1993 and 2015 (Bastards, Sacrifice, Overnight Sensation, We Are Motorhead, Hammered, Inferno, Kiss of Death, Motorizer, Aftershock) that get little to no recognition. All anyone wants to hear is Ace of Spades and Overkill.
I’m with you on that, all this albums stand up against the classics. Sacrifice, 1916, bastards, overnight sensation etc, all have great tunes on them. It’s a shame they’re not in. They spent more Time in and released more material with Motörhead than the “classic” lineup.
I didn't follow Motorhead after the mid 80s. Hey Paddy, I saw them in 1982 at the Kerrisdale Arena w/Krokus and Fist. Got autographs at Kellys record store downtown before the show. It was the first show with Brian Robertson, who replaced Fast Eddie a couple weeks prior although no one knew. That would be the last concert ever at Kerrisdale, which I read on the Georgia Straight website. Motorhead played there in 81 when they opened for Ozzy on the Blizzard tour.
That’s petty cool!! Was Robbo wearing the infamous “shorts” that night
Each time I saw Motörhead, my ears would ring for the next 2 days. I loved that band live. It was just FORCE and a great time. Loud fast rock n roll.

MC5 have everything to do with RnR, Kick out the Jams album is one of the most influential hard rock LP's ever made as well as the title song being a RnR anthem.

I'm not arguing against Motorhead going in. Although I think MC5 have more reason, and its mainly just for one reason. EVERYONE cites that Kick Out The Jams album as an influence. This is not a knock to their catalogues, but are both bands essentially one hit wonders? Kinda. I don't think that precludes them but I think that should factor into it. And IMO, MC5 have more merit because of the influence factor. Motorhead are great, I think they belong in, but I don't usually hear them cited as an influence by many bands. Just a lot of people like them.

As Metallica’s Lars Ulrich said to Rolling Stone following Lemmy’s death: “I got introduced to Motörhead’s music in 1979, when Overkill came out. I’d never heard anything like that in my life. The subsequent ride that this music took me on was to a place I’d never been. So when I say that Lemmy is the primary reason I’m in a band, and that Metallica exists because of him, it’s no cheap exaggeration.”

I think that the criterium shouldnt be just being CITED BY other bands as an influence, but more, HAVING BEEN, or BEING an influence on other bands. I know bands who don't acknowledge their influences wholeheartedly, so it's important that others CAN spot the influence.

Back in the day c. '79- '81 when I was in High School, Lemmy and Motorhead influenced the way my friends and I partied!

I wanna see a sea of hands out there.
Let me see a sea of hands.
I want everybody to kick up some noise.
I wanna hear some revolution out there, brothers
I wanna hear a little revolution.
Brothers and sisters, the time has come
For each and every one of you to decide
Whether you are gonna be the problem,
Or whether you are gonna be the solution.
You must choose, brothers, you must choose.
It takes 5 seconds, 5 seconds of decision.
Five seconds to realize that it's time to move.
It's time to get down with it.
Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know,
Are you ready to testify?
Are you ready?
I GIVE YOU A TESTIMONIAL, THE MC5 !!!!'
The MC5 are pure 100% rock n roll.

Well shattered...with my back up against the wall, I guess I had no choice but to look it up.
As expected, sadly the answer is no, but even sadder is the fact they've never even been nominated!!!! WTF!!!
This is enough to drive me to drinkin'....Champagne Jam...

I don't have a problem with who got in. Just pisses me off that they're so anti-heavy metal. Motorhead and Judas Priest absolutely deserve to be in.
