Re: OT: Van Halen, R.E.M. lead Rock Hall class

Regardless of what the Hall actually stands for -- if it's rock 'n' roll or hip hop, if it's integrity, innovation, musical skill or simple fame -- they're just too many on the wall to be anything special. If you love REM, you love REM. If you love Van Halen, you love Van Halen. And if you do, you're probably buying their records, going to their concerts (if possible), showing your appreciation in various ways. The R'n'R Hall of Fame seems like bullshit compared to that.
