willland Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Probably only because of the years of backlash from fans for snubbing them. None of them "fit the mold" of legendary rockers but somehow three Canuck "geniouses" put together such a cohesive and complex sound that many just didn't get it until now. And this year for the first time, the public gets to vote. I know I certainly will be voting for them... They can count on my vote. My buddy has been quoted many times as saying, "Rush, there is no ther band." Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 They certainly deserve it, they used to be a great band, some decades ago.They are still very talented musicians, just lost that thing that only goes along with youth..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2012 Their fan base has really been pushing for them to make it in I kind of go up and down on the Hall. Some years the inductees all make sense, and other years I just don't get it at all. At times I have felt they should rename it the Rock and Roll/R&B/Jazz/Blues/Etc./Anything Else Not Previously Mentioned Hall of Fame. Deep Purple and Butterfield Blues Band are both nominated and they should both get in ahead of Rush, but they have certainly been snubbed as compared to other artists how have already made it in.

Fish Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Deep Purple is not in?? I'm not even sure you could have a Rock Hall of Fame that they were not in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2012 Deep Purple is not in?? I'm not even sure you could have a Rock Hall of Fame that they were not in. My thoughts exactly. Like I was saying, my thought on the Hall kind of go up and down based on who I have seen get in and who has not made it.

Daddy Dee Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hush! Have never kept up with the Hall except sometimes seeing the annual inductees in the news. The absence of Deep Purple is indeed surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted October 5, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 5, 2012 Chicago has also never been inducted, it surley can't go by hits because they had many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Chicago has also never been inducted, it surley can't go by hits because they had many.I did not realize that they were not members. The early guitar work of Terry Kath alone, should be enough for them to be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Indeed, it's puzzling how many truly great artists are not in the HOF, while watching some of the ones who've been inducted in recent years... I've heard it referred to as "The Rock And Roll Hall Of Shame" quite often on various forums, and perhaps that is a more accurate name for it...

cyto Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 When I look through the past lists I wonder what/who voted?? ABBA and The Beastie Boys are in but not Deep Purple and Rush A lot of the "inductees" don't have squat to do with rock n roll I mean Bill Monroe was a great bluegrass/country musician but.....
