RRHOF most ridiculous snubs!

30 most ridiculous Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snubs 

Today's list would be the biggest Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snubs that needed to be corrected. For this, I'll be focusing on artists who are eligible yet still on the outside waiting for their call. 

1. Diana Ross: DR would be the 4th woman to receive the 2nd induction since her solo work is just remarkable as her with the Supremes. 

2. Sonic Youth: A band who made indie rock an legitimate art form in the 80's, Sonic Youth are definitely the "Velvet Underground" in the decade based on "influence than sales" caliber. They probably would be nominated but won't get voted in. 

3. Pixies: Same reason as Sonic Youth except they could get voted in. They're an act whose influence remains at large on 90's alternative rock scene with bands including Nirvana, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins & others giving their credit. 

4. The Replacements: The Mats would help bring alternative rock into a forefront during the 80's along with R.E.M, serving as inspiration for the careers of Nirvana & Green Day. 

5. The Smiths: Manchester legends The Smiths are among acts who were responsible for defining alternative rock with their jangly guitar sound paving the way for Oasis, Blur & The Stone Roses. 

6. Jane's Addiction: A band are one of the acts who followed the rare method that happened to past honorees including The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, Ramones, Sex Pistols & others: They have less million records sold yet influenced countless artists in alternative music. Plus their frontman created the Lollapalooza festival which became a landmark in pop culture history.  

7. Coldplay: In all honestly, putting Coldplay on the ballot for the first time would be interesting given the fact they're among the biggest & most important bands in the last 20+ years making their influence on today's music more relevant. Their possible appearance would make those rockers lose their mind but who cares. 

8. Smashing Pumpkins: Among the biggest bands in the 90's, Smashing Pumpkins blended elements of shoegaze, gothic & grunge into their signature sound marking the discography of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy & Blink - 182. 

9. Alice in Chains: Another band who made grunge into an cultural phenomenon with Layne Staley as one of the greatest vocalists. Their time would come, just not right now. 

10. Motorhead: A band who mixed punk & metal while they paved the way for thrash metal in the 80's all thanks to the leadership of Lemmy. 

11. New York Dolls: They were one of the bands who not only inspired the punk movement, plus the hair metal scene. Hall of Famers including Blondie, GNR & Kiss are cited as the Dolls followers. 

12. De La Soul: Along with Tribe, De La Soul are highly regarded among the groups in the alternative hip hop scene while pushing the genre into greater heights.

13. Daft Punk: Electronic music is well unrepresented in the Hall & it took Kraftwerk 6 nominations only to end up getting inducted through Early Influence. With said, Daft Punk would definitely be the next one on the ballot but might have the same problem like KW. 

14. Mariah Carey: Precisely, the nominating committee loves to put her on the ballot yet official voters are a different story. She's not well liked by everybody in the industry thus her continued snub. Unless something happens, she'll remain on the outside looking in.

15. Alanis Morrissette: Now her refusal to appeared at the 2022 ceremony may somewhat hurt her chances but she will be an obvious pick when it comes to more women in the Hall. 

16. Thin Lizzy: Irish rockers Thin Lizzy are well known for their dual guitar attack in which inspired countless hard & metal acts including Def Leppard, Alice in Chains & others. 

17. TLC: I'll be interesting when the Hall is starting to nominate female hip hop soul acts & TLC might be the first one to ever be on the list. 

18. Beck: A singer songwriter whose music has always stood the test of time as he's considered a critic darling with his quirky yet very cool sound. 

19. King Crimson: With the definition of Musical Excellence, King Crimson certainly fits the bill since there one of the acts who defined prog & have tight musicianship plus Robert Fripp is among the biggest session musicians. 

20. Bjork: The induction of Kate Bush definitely opened the door for interesting artists to be more involved with the Hall & Bjork will be the first Icelandic act on the list. 

21. Devo: This band has credentials needed for induction, yet here's a few problems behind their omission. They were seen as an one hit wonder with not enough mainstream heights. It doesn't help when they were against contemporaries with more success. With 3 nominations, it's a matter of time when they'll end up being in as side category honorees. 

22. INXS: They scored their first nomination this year only to be snubbed from final results. INXS would have another chance in the future, expect 2027 being their time. 

23. Liz Phair: I'm can get behind more women to be included in the Hall. Phair has solid credentials to earn recognition as she paved careers for artists including Avril Lavigne, 

24. Brian Eno: Already inducted with Roxy Music, this icon deserves to have his own honor due to his pioneering work in Ambient while serving as producer for multiple artists including RRHOF members themselves. 

25. Dr. Dre: Just like Brian Eno, a man from Compton is worthy of his own. He's a mentor for aspiring rappers & producers out there making history. 

26. Fiona Apple: An artist with an acclaimed discography & unique musical style can be her claim to ballot appearance.  

27. Black Flag: One of the first bands to put hardcore punk on the map. Bands including MCR, Tool & RHCP all cited their DIY tactics for their own careers. 

28. Motley Crue: They could be in for defining the concept of glam metal in the 80's. 

29. Lauryn Hill: Only one studio album under her belt, the legacy of Lauryn Hill still remains  to be seen everywhere even today's current times. 

30. Weezer: There's nothing much to say about them. A big deal back in their primetime yet not so much. 

Honorable mentions: The Chemical Brothers, Tori Amos, Ohio Players, War, The Monkees, Jethro Tull, ELP, Sting, Snoop Dogg, Bad Brains, Weird Al Yankovic, The B - 52's
